We'll need a little more information. My guess is that the PC file contains
macros, and that some VBA6 functions were used. Mac VBA is at version 5 and
can not compile or resolve the advanced functions. If this is the case,
you'll have to isolate the functions and code other alternatives. Another
likely possibility is that the PC solution includes Active-X controls which
are not supported on the Macintosh. Again, you'll have to recode the
application to avoid the use of Active-X. We'll try to help via this forum.

Hello, try to open the Spreadsheet while holding down SHIFT key - stis
should prevent any startup macros to run. See if that will enable to
open that file.
