logical_guy,
Why not write it in Excel?
OOo VBA seems very similar to MS VBA, I've not noticed any showstopper differences.
It may have a different set up bugs of course, so the bug workarounds you use in Excel many not be required in OOo. Conversely, it willhave its own foibles.
The thing I really miss is keyword help.

Hey thanks for the reply. The reason I want to avoid Excel is that I haven't got Windows installed on my computer and I want to avoid having to do so, if possible. I guess I could install it as a virtual OS and get Excel running that way. Hopefully not, tho... |
