Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS Excel file macros cause infinite loop of errors

Hi :)
Is it a file that everyone needs access to at their own desks?  Is it possible to just have 1 
desktop with MSO on it and then people update the file from there?  

If the other organisation is not Oracle then they might well be willing to re-write the code or 
have it re-written or allow it to be re-written "for improved security" and to allow it to be used 
with Free Software.  A lot of people start off with both MS Office and LibreOffice/OpenOffice on 
their machines at the beginning of a migration or just to be able to deal with a wider variety of 
clients.  Perhaps the organisation that needs this spreadsheet filled in might be willing to 
install LibreOffice on their machines rather than forcing you to buy a lot of licenses for 
something you wouldn't otherwise need.

It seems you have some leverage there.  There are probably people on this list that wouldn't mind 
being paid a little to translate the macros and at far less than the cost of a lot of MSO licenses. 
 I'm no good with macros btw, jic you were wondering.    
Regards from
Tom :)
