[cw-discuss] CrossOver support for .NET

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak]

If you are working really hard to attain such functionality on Linux or 
Mac, consider trying OpenOffice.org (OOo). Unfortunately, their Basic is 
not compatible with VBA, but the new OOo 3.0 offers at least some 
compatibility. Worse case, you write your macros to the OOo API, and 
manipulate your Excel documents. i have managed to do a lot of that with 
no problems on both Windows and Linux without using MS Office.
