[QUOTE="chscag, post: 770371, member: 46727"] Microsoft has promised the inclusion of VBS in the next major update to Mac Office but for folks like yourself that's not an answer. The only other thing I can suggest is to install Windows on your Mac. You can do it via Boot Camp or by using virtual software (Parallels, Fusion). I have both Mac Office 2008 and Win Office 2007 and that's what I have done. As for Excel files which contain scripts (formulas, etc.) and run OK in compatibility mode, I suspect Mac Office 2008 ignores the VBS and presses on. However, when the xml document format is chosen, it can not ignore the scripts because it also has to do the conversion. If you need assistance setting up Windows on your machine, you'll find lots of help by searching the forum or asking. Regards. [/QUOTE]
