Well since it's a XLS, it's probably all macros, which are in VBA. I don't know if OpenOffice will interpret all that correctly, but to rewrite it all to a GUI kind of thing, it's basically reprogramming it all. You might be able to reuse some of the code if you transport it to a VBS script, but even then you won't have a GUI.
If it's just answering questions to make a config file, I wouldn't mind not having a GUI, in fact both VBS or bash scripting or (insert your favorite scripting/programming language) would do nicely with questions and generating an output for you, even dumping it to a file. The bottom line is, unless someone else has a solution that will "convert" what you have, it's reprogramming time. On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Roger E.
