Active X In Excel For Mac

My client has a product based on Excel spreadsheets (2003- compatible) that we are porting to the Mac targeting Office 2011. These files using a significant amount of VBA code to check for valid licenses, perform functions, etc. We have been using.xls files but find that there are a number of problems with compatibility, including.xls files that compile fine on the PC but blow up when transported to the MAC due to subtle differences between the two, that I have been unable to code around (so far). It was suggested that we using either.xlsm format or.xlsb format rather than.xls to work around these problems and reduce file sizes.

I’m trying to get an Excel 2011 32-bit (for Mac) spreadsheet working that contains a macro. Best external hard drive for mac wirecutter. The problem is that this macro works fine on a PC, but not on the Mac. Virus Infection: One of the most common reasons for the corruption of Excel file is the virus infection. A computer virus is a malicious program that is designed in a way that they corrupt file system of your computer or it may damage some saved files as well.

This turns out not to work very well as we are using an ActiveX image control to 'veil' sheets in the workbook until the license is verified. This works fine in the ported.xls file, but immediately causes an error in the.xlsm and.xlsb format with the message that 'ActiveX is not supported and the workbook will now be read-only'. The VBA code proceeds to happily check the license, hide the ActiveX image 'veil' (that Excel just claimed was not supported) and display the sheet. The veil is used because MAC users have the option of turning off Macros, which means that any active means of preventing a user from seeing the content won't work. The passive mechanism ensures that they turn on Macros and pass a license check before they see any content.

Re: QB Pro 2017 Desktop vs. McAfee Anti Virus Software I ran the update on my McAfee software on Friday and then went to Qbooks 2017 and was able to successfully open the data file. I was promised by McAfee and Qbooks/Intuit to be notified when the fix was complete. That did NOT occur. QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2016 will be the last version available and will be supported until May 31, 2019. This does not affect the 2018 Windows versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro and Premier. Your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac small business customers will receive a separate communication notifying them of this news in the coming weeks.

Is there any other way of putting an image in front of the content on the spreadsheet that does not involve Macros? Preferably, how do we get the ActiveX image, which works fine with.xls format to work with.xlsm or.xlsb and to turn off the bogus Read Only message? All suggestions welcome. Thanks, Neil.
