Rental Workbook on a Mac?
We have had a number of inquiries about Excel, the Rental Workbook, and whether it will work with Macs.
We recently discovered that the VBA functionality has been included in Excel for Mac 2011. This is an important feature as it supports all of the Excel application objects and methods of Excel 2010 for Windows. This makes this version for Mac a more viable option and we are investigating the Rental Workbook to see how it works with the Mac. This is very good news, as previous Office for Mac versions have not been able to run the Rental Workbook.
We did discover though, that external objects referenced within VBA projects are limited within Excel for Mac 2011 in cases where the Windows based objects are not available on Mac OS X. This means that when Upgrading or Renewing, Mac users will need to refer to us for processing because the Renewal and Upgrade files are referencing the ‘External Object’ which is the users own Rental Workbook file. We can run this process for users manually, returning the Renewed or Upgraded file back to the client without a problem (on recent tests at least).
