Rental Workbook on a Tablet PC or iPad, or in Office 365?

We have had many queries as to whether the Rental Workbook would work on a Tablet or iPad hand-held computer.

As the Rental Workbook is highly programmed in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) for Excel, it requires a full install of Microsoft Excel, with Macros Enabled to run.  Most Tablet PC’s or ‘Pad’ computers do not have this capability.

Similarly, the new Cloud version of Office (Office 365) has the same disadvantage, for the same reasons.

This post online gives an example of a similar problem experienced by a Word user:

Each tax year brings a fresh update to the Rental Workbook.  One of our Frequently asked questions is “I can’t see the new tax year – how can I get it there?”.

Every July, we obtain the new Tax Table information from the ATO, add the details to the RW and begin work on testing.  Near the end of July, we issue all existing users with instructions on how to upgrade their files.  If you are an existing subscriber, make sure we have your up to date email contact information so that you receive this vital update.
