    Macros working fine on Windows Excel, but not on Mac (Excel 2011)

    I'm in the Navy, and have been given a spreadsheet to aid in Financial planning, however it doesn't work properly on my Mac, running Excel 2011. Currently use Office 2007 on a windows machine at work. Is it possible to get said worksheet to work at all on my Mac? For some reason I can't upload the file right now, but it would be a huge help if anybody could assist.

    I believe there are differences between the VBA versions
    Hope that helps.

    Your biggest issue is that you cannot use ActiveX controls on a Mac so you will have to replace all the buttons with the Forms versions, and move the code to subroutines in normal modules. Other than that, the code appears fairly compatible at first glance.
    Good luck.

    I don't know how to do any of that, would it be possible to walk me through it at a beginners level?

    Can I assume that you have the password for the code?

    I don't, how difficult would it be to just re-write it?
