'Universal' programming
I am in the middle of a largish 'suite' for a local organisation to allow monthly bookings sheets to be prepared and accessed and invoices to be raised from them and other functions.
The current 'chap' I work with has Office so it is written in VBA for ease and cheapness. However, I have to be prepared for the next mug to come along to be 'Office-less'. The actual running of the sheets works fine in OO apart from a bit of a twiddly bit in VBA on each sheet for change events, so sheet maintenance CAN pretty much take place in OO.
I have downloaded the guide to OO macros but not studied it yet, but would appreciate any suggestions on how to programme for non Office users and the poor souls with Linux and Macs who may come along. I had a dabble with QT a couple of years back but its handling of spreadsheets seemed to be embryonic then.
Any suggestions for cross-platform?
