My employer is considering installing OpenOffice.org's suite of Office products instead of using Microsoft Office. I've written several advanced applications in Access and Excel, and I'm trying to figure out what will and will not be compatable with OpenOffice.org.
Specifically, what do I need to do to have Calc (OpenOffice.org's version of Excel) read and execute VBA in macro's and tie macro events to button clicks?
Also of note, I'm using the MySQL Connector from within Excel to dynamically update data in the spreadsheet. What might I need to do to preserve data connectivity to our MySQL server?
Thanks
As far as I know, OOo Base can connect to an mdb file to the extent that it can open tables and queries. I think anything else - forms, reqportes, macros VBA and native - would need to be redeveloped.
I don't believe that OOo Calc can read or execute VBA: it has its own dialect of Basic, which has a variant syntax. It doesn't, as far as I can tell, support the concept of Class, for example. Some work appears to be occurring, however, see the OpenOffice Wiki for more information. Right now, I'd say you should be planning on a careful and complete rewrite.
Regarding the MySQL connector - I'd say that's the least of your worries...
On the plus side, you're likely to have real job security for a year or two while you get everything ported!
I recently discoverd go-oo which seems to be able to achieve your task.
