Any good (and yes, it's off-topic, hence the [OT] in the subject, but it's
pretty relevant.

The way I see it:

ANY spreadsheet that claims to be an Excel replacement, or Excel compatible,
or Excel import/export able, can ONLY truely claim to be so, if it also got
FULL macro support - thus any macro contained will be executable flawless
too.

So far, I've failed to find such a spreadsheet!

Conclusion: Excel!

Access is now available for this as far as I know, if you do not have
access then you might have misspelled your email address on the
invitation.

Hi Duncan,

I received the invitation. Well, at the moment I don't think Bill Gates
will be sweating it, but they have some good ideas. In about 2 hours of
testing I have reported about 6 bugs, so there's a long long way to go...

Cheers,

John

I think their is definite potential for this, I quite like it even in
its simplicity at the moment because it is still ok for simple sharing
and the updating is good.

It cannot handle some of my formulas though!, that is my main drawback
to using it at the moment but like you I have sent loads of feedback
and hopefully this will feed their development.

I will keep my eye on this, I would love it to snub mr gates but I
think its a mammoth task to recreate excel.
