You can't use ActiveX controls on a Mac, so that is not going to be particularly helpful to you. There is also still no userform designer so you won't be able to do any of that.



Developing on a Mac is frankly painful in current versions, and I don't see any prospect of that changing any time soon (it's been 6 years since they said they were working on a userform designer) given that Microsoft has no interest in VBA.

Bob,


You are right about not needing buttons. I've been playing with recording macros and I have been pleasantly surprised how much I can accomplish this way. Getting to look at the code once the macros are recorded is a big help.

I may need buttons someday, but right now I think I will get along without them.

Debaser,
To illustrate hw much of a nOOb I am at VBA, I have no idea what ActiveX or user form designer is. Can I assume the buttons and such mentioned above require ActiveX? Can you explain further?


Thanks,
Jeff
