Hi,

In the process of this I had one problem... the Excel 4 sheet macros have commands that manipulate the menu system. Since 2010 uses ribbon these will obviously no longer work.

So I removed those macro lines that touched the menu system.

There is one macro which calls the File Open dialog box.

The Macro is called OpenFile and its contents are:

=OPEN?()

Now, when I go to macros and manually Run this it works and opens the dialog.

But when I try to assign this macro to the onAction of a custom ribbon button I get an error Sub or Function not defined.

Is there a workaround/fix for this? Why can my ribbons onAction event not fire the macro when I can do it manually?

thanks,

KS

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
I'm joking (as far as I know) but it's only a matter of time...
