Julie,

you should be aware that as of Office 2008 for Macintosh, Microsoft is  
no longer supporting Visual Basic as a scripting language on the Mac.  
This means that Excel applications that run on fine on Office 2007  
(and earlier) on Windows and Office 2004 on the Mac won't run on  
Office 2008 for Macintosh. Office 2008 will be released on January 15  
at Macworld.
