Description C Buffey 2019-03-19 10:51:09 UTC
Description:
Hi

I have created a document in Excel which contains macros. 
I have give copies of these files to all my staff, some of whch are using the latest version of libreoffice (March 2019) 

The original file can be opened, and with the security set to low, use the file with all the macros and active x commands.

After using the file, it is saved as "Excel 2007 - 2019 macros enabled"

When I try to open the file again, either in Libre office calc or Excel 2013, the file opens but none of the macros or active x commands work.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Excel macro enabled file in Libre office
2.Edit
3.Save as Excel 2007 - 2019 macros enabled
4.Exit document
5.Re-open document in Excel or Libreoffice

Actual Results:
File opens but macros and active x commands not executed. 
All date is saved and accessible.

Expected Results:
All macros and Active x commands should work


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Created attachment 150097 [details]
Macro enabled excel

Here is the template that we are using, created in Excel 2007 & 2013.

This is then edited and saved in libre office as a "Excel 2007 - 2019 macros enabled". 

I noticed that the file size increases from around 500kb to 3,500kb (not sure if that has any significance, but thought it was worth mentioning)

When reopened in Excel or Libreoffice the macros and active x commands stop working.

repro 7.5+
On open, the original file nicely unhides all sheets automatically, and the macros behind various buttons seem to work.

Two immediately seen problems here after a save and reload.
"AAA Calendar TEMPLATE.xlsm" REALLY depends on having  Workbook_Open run on startup. Auto-run doesn't happen on the round-tripped file.

Secondly, on the round-trip we get an error with
  For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
while on the original document it runs fine. Why?

The error is: BASIC runtime error 423.  Property or method not found: Worksheets

Opening this in Word 2003, it looks like all of the sheets etc have been duplicated. There is ThisWorkbook and ThisWorkbook1.
