[QUOTE="shades, post: 723826, member: 4773"] It is good to see that Pivot table are now included. Even with 2004, there were still two major disadvantages: 1) VBA was based on VB 5 (what was used in Office 97), whereas 2003 (actually 2000 and 2002 also) was based on VB 6, and 2) there were no Control Box features in 2004. Some would say that the latter is a good thing, but when many people design in 2003 using list boxes, etc. based on Control Box toolbar instead of the Forms toolbar, then these are not available or usable/functioning with 2004. So if someone wanted any kind of cross-platform capability with 2004, they needed to set up everything on the Windows side using only what would work with Office 97. [/QUOTE]
