Would BA operate CALC of OpenOffice??

Unfortunately not. It is something we are thinking about implementing, but can't advise any timescales at the moment.

Gary / Mark,

With the computer world initially being taken over by Microsoft, to link BA to MS EXCEL was an obvious route to take. However, with software like OpenOffice and Firefox beginning to take more of Microsofts market (and from what I've seen and heard, this software is just as good if not better than Microsofts), has the option to link BA to OpenOffice been considered recently, or is it still on the back-burner!?

I'm sure there's a potential market out there for you guys to tap in to

[GaryRussell]

it's not a priority at the moment, there's just too many other things that need doing first. I get your point though.

I undrestand that it's not a priority but I would also like to put my hand up for open office- which in my view is superior to excel. It's easier to use and much lighter/faster too. Would love to see BA link to it- but realise it will be a while yet.

How good is OpenOffice.org Basic (the programming language) compared with VBA?

Does anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks,

Al
