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.

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.

Dear Dav,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
