Microsoft Excel 2007 to Mac Excel 2008 Issue regarding Macros

[SidneyBruce]

I have created worksheets on my PC using MS Excel 2007. I transfered them to a Mac user and when open the excel worksheet on his computer it tells me "Excel 2008 for Mac can't run the Macros"

Can someone maybe please help me to a way around this ????

I'm afraid there is no "way around it" ‹ It's a simple fact that Office 2008
has no support for VBA, so macros will not run. You should be able to open
the file (depending on what 2007 features have been used).

Is there a version that does support macros ? Or...can the macros be re-created & run ?

Mac Excel 2004.

The previous versions, Excel for Macintosh Version 2004 and earlier, support
VBA. As will the next version, 2010.

In Excel 2008, you "might" be able to re-code the macros in AppleScript, but
I suggest that this would be far more effort that is practicable, since
AppleScript is a very different language in structure and operation.
