OpenOffice.org

Post by nighttimestereo »

What is the main problem preventing TOS from working in OpenOffice.org? Is it VBA support, or something else?

The Sheet uses functionality not found in that kind of free software. Hence it will not function with that.

What is OpenOffice missing specifically? I am considering working on a fix for the program.

Yes, that's correct. There is also a team of people working for Novell on improving VBA support in OpenOffice.org so hopefully I can get something going with them.

I would like to know the following:
1. Have you done any troubleshooting to determine what parts of OpenOffice.org aren't up to scratch? If not, that's ok. If so, which parts?
2. Does the sheet use anything beyond standard VBA? For example, does it depend on external ActiveX components or the like?

Yes, amongst other things, ActiveX is used.

I have no plans on trying to make it OO (or any other free excel clones) compatible.

Sorry.
