Description Dav 2023-03-09 18:59:02 UTC 
Greetings,

I have a very old Excel to migrate to Calc.
In the Excel file, there is a form with 4 tabs and many fields in each tab.
When I open this excel file with calc, the form is not properly handled and the tabs do not appear in design mode.
Any hint would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot by now.
Have a nice and safe evening.
Eric

Greetings,

I realize that the first file I did upload is not good enough to reproduce the userform migration problem from Excel to Calc.
I therefore just uploaded "bug 154100 _v1.2.xlsm" that is coming from Excel 2019. The README_FIRST tab explains the problem when opening this Excel file with Calc.
I hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for your precious time and help.
Have a nice and safe day.

Greetings raal,

Thanks a lot. We are in sync so far :-)
May I please kindly ask you for a download link for Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) ?
I do not find it in the list at: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/rpm/x86_64/

Thanks again for your precious help.
Have a nice and safe day.
