Does this work on Open Office? Does this work with MAP systems?
Does this work on Open Office? Does this work with MAP systems?
Just a minor note, but Open Office isn't really supported anymore if I recall correctly. I moved to Libre Office so I could actually open modern Excel files.
84Elky, thanks for this! I'll give it a shot and see how it does with MAF stuff, should be fun.
EDIT: As for LibreOffice, it doesn't seem to work. The first error the macros throw is with a development function that was left in that lets you exit without saving. Once I removed that development function, the sheet loaded properly. But then when I select MAF or SD, it throws a BASIC runtime error 423 related to "value2" in ThisWorkbook.
So sadly, looks like it really will require real MS Office to run this unless the code gets refactored for compatibility.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it will unfortunately not run on any of the open source platforms (discontinued OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice, ApacheOffice, etc.). This is because of differences in how MS integrates VBA and how other versions of BASIC are integrated in the open source. Also regrettable that MS is constantly changing programming standards that open source developers cannot keep up with! This is also the reason I cannot unfortunately do the same which would require multiple versions to support open source. Again, regretable.
I'm unsure if there is truly a free version of Microsoft 365 . . . but . . . https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-a...ending-a-dime/
Might work with MS account while connected to a web browser?

I've used the Log File Analyzer several times (older versions), nothing but many miles of smiles!
Worth the price of a free trial for Microsoft 365? . . . YES https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/try?rtc=1 . . . just be sure to cancel before the trial period ends!!!

Hey, thanks for the response! I figured it would be a difference between BASIC and VisualBasic. Microsoft is notorious for doing exactly this sort of thing in order to make sure your only option is to use their products (remember win32s? DR-DOS? WordPerfect?), so it doesn't surprise me one iota.
I'm sure I have a copy of Office sitting around somewhere. Might as well toss it onto the same laptop I use for tuning stuff and try this again.
