can an excel file compiled on a Windows PC be used on a Mac computer?
Yes, with a few caveats, among them:
1) There are some (not many) differences in the way VBA commands are implemented on both platforms (e.g., the GetOpenFileName method). 2) Mac VBA is version 5, so VBA6 commands won't compile in MacXL (I conditionally compile replacement routines in my cross-platform apps). 3) ActiveX is a Windows-only technology, so ActiveX controls will not function in MacXL. 4) UserForms are always modal in MacXL.
