Standard versions of OOo (available from www.openoffice.org) cannot run VBA macro's. OOo has its own macro language and can utilise many others (eg, python, beanshell,javascript). I believe that staroffice has implemented support for VBA and there are some other varients available from vendors that have done the same thing (google is your friend here). Your spreadsheet in question will probably open fine in calc, however the macro's will not be able to be run. /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
