VBA support means support to VBA script in MS document, especially in excel documents. It is not translation from VBA to OOo Basic. But Star Basic script engine is reused and VBA script is mapping to UNO API instead of Star Basic. VBA support includes correctly open and execute VBA script in a MS document, editing and save back the VBA script in a MS document. Things are also different for MS document binary format and 2007/2010 format. > > And, i'm not sure if i understood, but this expertise in Symphony will > migrate to AOO? > This is just a wiki to clarify the VBA support status in AOO3.4. Chen Peng is an expertise on VBA and OO.o programability from Symphony team. But he is not a AOO committer yet. If he want to do anything significant on VBA for AOO, he needs post his idea/plan in AOO wiki first. > Best, > Claudio
