Excel 98/VBA compatibility problem on Mac

[LeoB]

I recently tried to port a VBA program from Win NT4 to the Mac, and
discovered that the capability to view local variables was absent on
the Mac version of VBA. The "View Locals" menu option present on the
Windows version is absent on the Mac version. Am I missing something?
Did MS really not implement this capability on the Mac port? If true,
is the capability present in Office 2001? I'm running MacOS 9.1 on a
Powermac G3. Thanks

View Locals, along with the Watch window and Intellisense, is not
implemented in the Mac VBE in any version, including v.X.

Thanks for the response. Do you know of any reference or guide that
outlines the differences between the Mac and PC versions? TIA...

The most important difference between Mac and Win VBA is that Mac
VBA (for Office 98,2001 and v.X) is VBA 5.00, equivalent to
Office97. And of course, ActiveX controls are not supported.

Differences between Mac and Win VBA can be found in VBA Help under
the following topics:

- Differences between Word VBA for Windows and Word VBA for
the Macintosh

- Differences between Office VBA for Windows and Office VBA
for the Macintosh
