I have not been able to locate a direct answer to the following direct
question on any of your webpages or fora sites:
How comparable is the OpenOffice "variant" of VBA to the original
version developed by Microsoft for its "Office" components (Excel,
Word, PowerPoint, etc)?
I ask this because my dad has just purchased a refurbished PC with WinXP
SP3 and OpenOffice as the included software and I am using Microsoft
Office, primarily Excel and Word. I have adapted many of the Excel
"Macros of the Month" that are published in the monthly Techlife
(previously "Australian PC User") magazine by Helen Bradley and sue
these with many of my financial, etc, spreadsheets and would like to be
able to use them when I have to travel to Sydney (I'm in Canberra) which
I have to do at least twice a year but my need to maintain these
spreadsheets doesn't stop during these periods which are usually of the
order of three (3) weeks each. As such, it would be nice if "your"
variant of VBA was as close to 100% compatible with the Microsoft
variant as it is possible to be.
Looking forward to receiving your response.
Thanks,
Paul Myers
