[QUOTE="shades, post: 723454, member: 4773"] Howdy. If you have to use VBA, Pivot Tables, Solver, XWindow stuff, etc., then you have to stay with 2007, since none of these are available for 2008. Indications are that 2008 will eventually get VBA and Solver, but it will always be a subset of, or worse than the Windows side (in terms of capabilities). My guess is that MS Certification implies that all testing will be done with the Windows version. In this case, why bother with the Mac version? I am a dedicated Mac user, but I worked with Excel and Access in a Fortune 50 company, and it would have been difficult to do some of the work even with VBA in 2004. I tried writing code to be interchangeable. In most cases beyond simple tasks it was impossible. [/QUOTE]
