Hi
I’m just wondering if there any effort to help people convert their macros. It would seem like someone could actually write a …macro to do it.
I feel I might be stating the obvious here. That many people who are not programmer have spent a lot of time and effort with VBA Macro, and that many of them would be easy, grateful and generous converts to Libre Office if there was even a modest effort to help them migrate their macros.
Just saying
Here is a good starting point for porting your VBA code to VB:
As I said, this is just for starter. I totally agree with you, Bugs, we need to do porting in more organized manner.
I am currently struggling with the same problem, namely getting a type of control ported (see my posts for details).
I think if we can expand on the document I linked above, and maybe even make it into an easy-to-search catalog it will make the life easy for many.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that this is a difficult task, but I don’t understand why there is not an sponsored and official collaborative effort by users or LibreOffice to tackle the problem.
Now even your suggestion for example, where did you find that out ? That seems like a good first step, but how would I have known if you had not told me?
I wish The Document Foundation would just simply set a way for people to reach each other and share. It does not make sense that there is no real online place for this.
