Thread: AllowFormattingCells:=

  1. #1

    AllowFormattingCells:=

    This works fine on a PC, but not on a mac: AllowFormattingCells:=

    I receive this back: Compile Error: Named Argument Not Found

    Any suggestions on what argument should be used on a mac?

    Thanks!

    For clarification, "AllowFormattingCells:=" is an argument that's being used with the worksheets.unprotect method. (5man is helping me out with making my application mac-compatible).

    On a Mac, you can not format cells on a protected sheet. Even unlocked cells. The functionality of the AllowFormattingCells argument is not supported for Mac.

    (How's it going without Join, Split, or Replace?)

    Yeah, I've got some splits and replaces to deal with, too. Arggg.

    Is there someplace that has a comprehensive listing of the differences between excel for mac and windows? I've only been able to find bits and pieces on the web.

    I know of no comprehensive listing.
    Split, Join, Replace and ActiveX are the main ones I'm aware of.
    File handeling uses different delimiters.
    Some GUID stuff is probably also different.

    I'm a Mac user and am waiting to see what 2008 will have.
