I am trying to create a module in excel for mac. I need to add it in the VBE but am unable to figure out how to do so. If anyone has information that could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate that a lot.
Thanks.
A quick Google search found this question asked here. Consensus is that the feature isn't available (and there aren't plans to make it available). The recommendation is to use the features In Office 2011 or on a Windows machine (with 13 or 16).

guys!
we are developing a formula editor.
we want to insert our formula in Word (the formula image is normally displayed in Word) and edit again, just like xlsx files.
when double clicking, we want to launch our editor program to edit the formula and then replace it in Word.
we have already done that on Windows, but under the macOS, we are confused because we do not know how to implement them.
can you please tell me if that possible? is there a similar function implementation of office word under macos?
any advice or suggestion is welcome!
No, it is not possible because OLE is based on the COM technology which exists on Windows only.
As a possible solution you may consider creating an Office web add-in which can be installed on all platforms from web browsers to Mac OS. See Develop Office Add-ins for more information.
You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team go through the planning process.
I need to enable the users to do a livesearch of the contents of a folder from my app. On OS X, I can do it by using the Spotlight APIs which have been exposed. Is there a way in which I can do it on Windows? Does Windows Search SDK help me accomplish this? As far as I know, Windows doesn't index the files until the user explicitly gives permission. So does that mean I've to index the files myself? Are there any open source libraries which do this? How can I go about implementing my own library? Too many questions, I know. I appreciate answers to any of them.
Search SDK is good, but can be switched off by user.
Also try Googel Desktop - do the same thing, but also expects user action on installing it.
Ok. I decided to go with CLucene because I found it more reliable, easier to use and to have a much more active community than Windows Search. And of course I can use it on both Windows and Mac.
Take a look at Xapain. CLucene development seems to have stagnated.
What my problem is is that I have a project that is in full design mode swing right now. I built it using the Windows form..
Anyways, on one of my forms..that I already started building (very painstakingly)..
Minds have changed and now what needs to be on that form is either a full excel 2003 workbook..or at the very least..excel worksheet.
The problem is that I have not been using studio 2008 for long..and coding experience shows the same.
Can someone please tell me how the heck I can put a worksheet or a workbook on that form without starting my whole project over using office forms?
Please..go slow with this newbie because i really don't know anything and Jargon is confusing me even more :(

i have search high and low on the internet and it does not exist. i cant find a single website that shows a few applications created with realbasic. i saw a video that shows the user going to realbasic.com/community/ and it shows a load of applications created using realbasic. would anyone know where i can find this information. that link that i gave doesnt even work by them.
The Made with REALbasic section at the Association of REALbasic Developers contains a list of many applications created with REALbasic:

Is it possible to create a windows service in vb6? if yes, how?
I've never tried it, but Desaware offer a commercial package, the NT Service Toolkit that claims to allow you to host a VB6 DLL inside a Windows Service. Desaware was founded (and I think is still owned by) VB6 guru Dan Appleman, which is a good recommendation.
Microsoft created a control to allow you to create services in VB6.

Yes, it works, is it the best way to create a service, no, but if VB6 is a requirement (you have a bunch of code you have to re-use), then I can state from experience that it works. We have the original control from the January 1997 MSDN, however you can easily find it on the net if need be ( http://www.google.ca/search?q=ntsvc.ocx+download )
Like gouging your own eyes out with a spoon, it is technically possible but I wouldn't recommend it.
Yes, you can. Just follow the directions in this tutorial:

To answer your question, yes it is possible to create a Windows service with VB6. To offer you advice, there are much better tools to use. I did it once as a proof of concept project, but never liked it well enough to try to use it for anything that we used in the company. A co-worker did do this for a production app and it was error prone. After he left we found out just how hard he was working to keep his service running and ended up replacing his app without reviewing his code. So my advice is, if you want to do it as an exercise go ahead, but if you are looking at this for a workable solution you should consider other tools. Here is a link to one way to do it.
