VB itself or the implementation hiding inside the MS Office programs? I believe OpenOffice has some compatibility for the latter, but I've never tried it. Actual VB I think has to go through Wine. If it can be ported to run under VB.net, you may be able to have it run natively by using Mono though. -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
