I have been sent a file that, when someone with EXCEL 2008 tried to
open it, got an error message about visual basic. I do not yet know
the exact message, but I am assuming it has something to do with the
rumor that the 2008 version does not use (and cannot understand)
VBA.

Does that make sense?

By the way, is EXCEL 2008 for a MAC only, or is there a vwersion 2008
for a PC that is already released?

I, then, was asked if I felt that the file would be compromised? I
don't know if they meant after saving in 2008 and then reopening in
EXCEL 2003, or if they meant, if only opeining it in version 2003. If
it is the latter, then I assume there is nothing to compromise, so
let's assume it is the former.

I figured that the answer was "if there were any macros, then, yes,
the file will be compromised". Fortunately, I happened to have am
almost exact copy of the file, created using the same template, but
never saved in 2008, so I checked that. When I went to Tools-Macro, I
saw no macros whatsoever. When I looked into "This Workbook", it was
blank, too. So, I was all set to conlcude that, although version 2008
does compromise macros, since this template had none, there would be
nothing to get compromised. The only thing that confuses me is that
there are two print buttons that do cause pages to be automatically
submitted. I always thought that those kind of things were done with
macros, but since I can find no macros, my question is:

Is there some other way that a gray rectangualr box that says "print
5" on it would not be driven by a VBA macro?

Or, might the print macro be hidden somewhere and if so, how to I try
to find it?

Thanks much for any help.
