Hi, I need help. Im generating a excel file using jakarta poi. I have added a vba to my excel template so that it creates a chart on file open using the data populated using the poi map. Now this works fine in a windows machine. But on a linux machine the vba does not execute. I need to release my prod in linux too and im losing time. Is there any workaround for this???? Thanks in advance Karthik

Are you talking about Microsoft Visual Basic ? Do you mean that you want to run a microsoft thing on a Linux machine ?

Replying to Kart
Look into gpsbabel. It can convert many formats of gps information to many output formats including csv.

I see this is a truly old post. None the less Since the Feedbacker (whatever that is) has decided to raise this zombie of a post I thought I may as well add some insight.



No he was talking about Visual Basic for Applications. It is close but not quite VB. Features put in with VBA will only function in Office. VBA is not a fully compiled language like C++ or even VB. Nor is ti a scripted language like HTML or JavaScript. Instead it is compiled on load. So when a document with VBA coding is opened it is at that point that the VBA is compiled. Thus the only application that will use the VBA coding is the only one that can compile the code in question MS Office.

Access works slightly differently.

Hi There,



I created a excel sheet with some vb scripting for a client. I want to include a trial period in this so I can give it out to clients to test and if they like it they can buy it. Does anyone know how to do this?
