When is Excel not Excel?
Several years ago, I had implemented a simple timesheet in
Microsoft Excel. It used VBA macros for pop-up dialog boxes to
support lookup tables and an interface to QuickBooks.
The
controller like it so much that she took it with her to her next
job where some of the workstations were Macs. The prior
company was in a Windows-only environment. She was disappointed to
find that the VBA macros did not function on the Macs.
After researching the problem in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base, we discovered that the Excel is not necessarily Excel. The
Macintosh version differs from the Windows version.
So, if you design VBA macros for both Windows and Macs, make sure you find out when Excel
is not Excel.
