Hello John,

Hi I am looking for a spreadsheet which will run under Windows XP and which has a macro capability. I am at present using Microsoft Excel for Windows 95 on Windows 98SE, and I should prefer to be able to transfer my existing macro to the new spreadsheet. However, if that is not possible, I should be prepared to write a new one, provided sufficient instructions were provided. (The present one is written in Visual Basic). Do you consider the spreadsheet in Open Office would fill the bill?
OpenOffice.org Calc does run macro's. The Star-Basic language is quite the same as the MS version. However, the objects to work with, are different.
It's very very unlikely that you won't be able to do in Calc what you do in Excel.
The effort you have to make to change, of course depends.
At the bottom of this page: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html are some useful docs reg. your question. Furthermore, there are useful examples on pages as: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ etc.
Hope this helps. Kind regards,
Cor
