No I don't want an idiots guide to JavaScript, VBA etc. http://cresby.com is the result of JavaScript and VBA.
I need a look at what is on offer in Open Office Portable macros before I decide what compatibility means. & before I invest in the learning curve.
The last time I tried (OK on desktop versions) using my (very extensive) spreadsheets larded with macros I found that VBA compatibility was not. Basically macros failed and after picking through a few obvious differences I came up with a concept that would have to be changed before I could program in OpenOffice. There were functions that just plain didn't.
No reason why they should just for me - but compatibility is clearly defined in anybody's lexicon. I have spent 10 years honing my macros, I don't want a year of obscure text manipulation errors to surface - or not surface properly. I publish information backed by 10 man years of getting it right.
So where can I see useful info on the macro facility?
Any takers?
TIA
