Hi,

I have the following code in an Excel workbook for MS Office/Windows XP.
I need to change it to run on a Mac. Can someone tell me what changes I need to make to the code to get it to run, or point me in the direction of an answer. Basically, I need to allow the user to browse to and open a file and I also need to clear out the contents of the current sheet.

Code:
Sub Openimportfile()

On Error GoTo import_err

fname = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , "Select a File to Import")

If fname <> False Then

Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=fname)

Set r = mybook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").Cells

For Each c In r.Cells

'grab title
If Left(c.Value, 5) = "TI -" Then

strTitle = Trim(Right(c.Value, Len(c.Value) - 5))
Set nextCell = c.Offset(1, 0)

Do While Mid(nextCell.Value, 5, 1) <> "-"

strTitle = strTitle & " " & Trim(nextCell.Value)
Set nextCell = nextCell.Offset(1, 0)

Loop

If Right(strTitle, 1) = "." Then strTitle = Left(strTitle, Len(strTitle) - 1)
If strTitle = "" Then strTitle = "N/A"

Set rTitle = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").Cells

For Each ctitle In rTitle.Cells

If ctitle.Value = "" Then
currRow = ctitle.Row
ctitle.Value = strTitle
Exit For
End If

Next

End If

'grab Address
If Left(c.Value, 5) = "AD -" Then

strAddress = Trim(Right(c.Value, Len(c.Value) - 5))
Set nextADCell = c.Offset(1, 0)

Do While Mid(nextADCell.Value, 5, 1) <> "-"

strAddress = strAddress & " " & Trim(nextADCell.Value)
Set nextADCell = nextADCell.Offset(1, 0)

Loop

'grab email
lemail = InStr(strAddress, "@")
If lemail > 0 Then

lemail = lemail - 1
For i = lemail To 1 Step -1

If Mid(strAddress, i, 1) = " " Then Exit For

strEmail = Right(strAddress, Len(strAddress) - (i - 1))

Next

strAddress = Left(strAddress, Len(strAddress) - Len(strEmail))
End If

strRange = "B" & ctitle.Row
Set raddress = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range(strRange)
raddress.Value = strAddress

strRange = "C" & ctitle.Row
Set rEmail = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range(strRange)
rEmail.Value = strEmail


End If

'grab Name
If Left(c.Value, 5) = "FAU -" Then

Set prevCell = c.Offset(-1, 0)

If (Left(prevCell.Value, 5) <> "FAU -" And Left(prevCell.Value, 5) <> "AU -") Then

strname = Trim(Right(c.Value, Len(c.Value) - 5))
strFirstName = Right(strname, Len(strname) - InStr(strname, ","))
strLastName = Left(strname, InStr(strname, ",") - 1)

strRangeFirst = "D" & ctitle.Row
strRangeLast = "E" & ctitle.Row

Set rFirstName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range(strRangeFirst)
Set rLastName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range(strRangeLast)
rFirstName.Value = Trim(strFirstName)
rLastName.Value = Trim(strLastName)

End If

End If

'grab Journal
If Left(c.Value, 5) = "TA -" Then

strJournal = Trim(Right(c.Value, Len(c.Value) - 5))
strRange = "F" & ctitle.Row
Set rJournal = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range(strRange)
rJournal.Value = strJournal

End If

strTitle = ""
strFirstName = ""
strLastName = ""
strAddress = ""
strEmail = ""
strJournal = ""

Next

mybook.Close

ActiveWorkbook.Save
MsgBox "Import Complete."
End If

Exit Sub
import_err:
MsgBox Err.Description
Exit Sub
End Sub

Public Sub ClearData()

On Error GoTo ClearData_err

Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "Title"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("B1").Value = "Address"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("C1").Value = "Email"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("D1").Value = "First Name"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("E1").Value = "Last Name"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("F1").Value = "Journal"

ActiveWorkbook.Save

Exit Sub
ClearData_err:
MsgBox Err.Description
Exit Sub
End Sub

Hello,

It is my understanding that Macro code in Windows will work just fine in Macintosh. Matter of fact, it is one of the areas on a Mac that are prone to "infection" -- a windows macro virus can knock down a mac's office environment.

I'd give it a try, and see how well it works.

Thanks, I thought it work work fine too, but when the user runs it it gives the error:

error: Method 'GetOpenFileName' of object '_Application' failed

When the code goes to the method 'GetOpenFileName'

And the error:

Error: Application-defined or object-defined error

When the user clicks on the command button to run the 'cleardata' sub.

The code works great on windows
