Hi,
I tried NeoOffice yesterday and I had a problem with a .xls file that I use often
http://www.arne-kaplan.dk/en.html

It's a russian verb conjugator, it uses VB macros and they don't work in NeoOffice 2.2.5 Intel. It works OK with MS Office 2003 (PC) but not with MS Excel Viewer (PC).

Can someone look it in the future?

I opened the link in both NeoOffice 2.2.5 and 3.0 Early Access 2 and I do not see any error messages. This means that NeoOffice can recognize all of the VBA commands in the file's macros so the problem is not that NeoOffice needs to add more VBA support. Instead, this indicates that the most likely cause of the problem is that the macros are written to use a specific features that exists only in Microsoft Office 2003 and 2004.

In other words, the bad news is that the macros appear to have a plain old bug and the author is going to have to debug their macros to find the code that is dependent on features that are only present in Microsoft Office 2003 and 2004 and rewrite those sections of the macro to use only the features that are available in both Microsoft Office and NeoOffice.
