I've just been given the task of converting a very old Lotus 123
spreadsheet, with LOADS of macros, to MS Excel 2003. I don't really have a
problem with the VBA programming, but can't find a listing of the old lotus
menu structure for use in interpreting the macros.

As an example, one cell of a multi-cell keyboard macro contains
{GOTO}G3~/RFP~G3.G108~{GOTO}A3~/RFF~C13.C109~{GOTO}Y3~/RFF~Y3.Y109~.
Although the {GOTO}G3~ seems fairly straight forward, /RFP~G3.G108~ does
not.

Does anyone know of a listing of the '/' menu commands so that I can begin
to decipher what these macros do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave

I realise this wont give you a full map
of 123 menustructure but might put you on the road..



even in Excel2003 it's still there.

options/tools/transition
set the / as menu key
select the lotus 123 help option
check Transition navigation keys

now manually type a / in a cell
a dialog with interactive menuing should pop up.

I tried setting this up but don't have a lotus help option checkbox? Should
that be in the option/tools/transition dialog?

Hi Dave:

Your Boss is still living €œback in the day€�

as pointed out by Don /rfp is

/rfp = /range/format/percent

and also

/rff is /range/format/fixed
and at that point the program would except a number
indicating the decimal position.

and {GOTO} is as you assume however it was a macro
defined by 123 as are all instances you see in { }

~ is the enter symbol

I tried to find a map of the menus in the old manuals but there are none and
as
were the old DOS menus they may go 1--whatever deep.

The easiest way would be to go back in the warehouse and find an old computer
that still has 123 loaded.

Good Luck
TK

Don,

I don't see it in my my version Excel 2003. Could it be I haven't installed
this feature?

Your correct (i'm switching versions too often)

in excel XP:
/Tools/Options
tab Transition


Settings -----------------------------------
Microsoft Excel menu or Help key : = /
o Microsoft Excel menus
X Lotus 123 help

V Transition Navigation Keys
Sheet Options ------------------------------
etc

In Excel2003: the settings controls have been removed.

I tried Programmatically:
application.TransitionMenuKeyAction=xllotushelp
application.TransitionMenuKey="/"

executes without error, but no change on the UI
and no reaction on the keypress.


ouch..
I'll try and see if i can find or create
a map of the menu's

I tried replying to sender from your post but received a "host unkown
error".

Try replying to this post but remove any "_" characters and the word
"remove" from my reply address and it should go through.

Thanks again for all the help. I really appreciate it!
