MS Excel 2003 to Mac Office (Excel) 2004
 

Can any one direct me to a site that will be able to help obtain information
about running my MS Excel Contract Templates and Add-Ins on a Mac Machine
with Office 2004?
Hopefully a site that I can have the same confidence in as I do in this one.

I'm being "forced" into this by management who have purchased a Mac for one
salesman, with first researching the feasibility of operating our contract
templates and Add-ins on the Mac. This work is the Prime work done on the
computers by all our salesmen, second, perhaps, ONLY to customer contact via
E-Mail.

Thanks in Advance....

Google for additional information and clarification. Help your management
make informed decisions by making sure they have a clear understanding of the
upgrade path from Mac2004 (which appears to be "none") as opposed to PC-based
Excel (which can only be reasonably predicted through a version or so into
the future, because who knows what will happen with office online, .Net, and
other technology).

I just found this (a surprise to me):
"The group also is providing a glimpse at the road map of Office for Mac by
announcing the return of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in the next
version."
at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/p...cBU2008PR.mspx

If the VBA code is 99.99% compatible with PC VBA, then that would be great.
If they bring it back with differences, I'll personally be staying on the PC
side.

I guess if your company goes Mac, you will be stuck on 2004 until/unless MS
releases a version that includes a compatible enough VBA for you to upgrade.

Best of luck,
Keith
