Sort of like your constant MS bullshit?Maybe you all were just stupid, maybe you didn't look up the functions correctly, I don't know. But everything I said above was absolutely true.If you're saying you actually built a macro from scratch that did not calculate according to the specs given by OpenOffice then I'd REALLY like to see that macro.> So in the end just as a version change in an existing product can bite> you, so can switching to a different vendor for the same type of> product.Of course that's possible. Especially if you try to bring stuff over from a closed-source vendor who has no real incentive to play nice with others. But once you're out of the closed and into the open, it's freakin' fantastic.-Charlie
