SCARY: IT tells me NO MACROS will work when we upgrade to 2013

[ker9]

Is that remotely correct? Are there different types of 2013 upgrades? Is there a difference between 365 2013 and 2013 (or something?)

What is "it"?

IT - Information Technology group - the guys who install this stuff and maintain it at our company

Well, ask them which version they will be installing and then Google it. If they are right, there is bound to be corroborative evidence online.

Maybe they are just saying they are going to change your excel security settings so that they don't work.

Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to say 'no macros" will work, maybe certain macros could possibly need updating but not many normal macros.

When I upgraded to 2013 about a year and half ago, all my saved macros continued to work. FYI. I think scottiex may have the solution.

Thank you. I have been Googling it and couldn't find anything to indicate that was true. I was hoping to hear from you guys about your experiences. I have a call with them this afternoon.

I have only one macro enabled workbook and it works in 2010 and 2016.

Hi,

Perhaps your IT department are confusing the online Office applications, which indeed do not support VBA, with an Office 365 subscription. Either that or, as scottiex suggested, they are planning to actively prevent them. Either option is a little worrying to me.
