In Microsoft Excel, the following restrictions apply to running macros
contained in a Lotus 1-2-3 WK4 file:
- The commands in the macro must be backward compatible to Lotus 1-2-3
Release 2 (note that Release 2 lacks many of the macro commands
available in Release 4).
-and-
- When you run the macro, the worksheet that contains the macro code must
be active.
NOTE: This restriction means that if you have a separate worksheet
that contains the macro code, you cannot use those macros with data
that is contained on a different worksheet.
You will receive a macro error when you run a macro contained in a Lotus
1-2-3 WK4 file in Microsoft Excel if either of the above conditions is
not true.
