+1
To make it a web app, though, since it sounds like a wee b**tard to use
and it would be better for the customer, it would seem there are another
couple of options:
a. Outsource this part of the project to India (no, I am not being
facetious)
or
b. Do it as classic ASP/VBScript - depending on the VBA, perhaps there
is a chance that the calculations could be pasted as/is or bulk
processed using S&R to reduce the workload.
a. would be my preferred option, since I will eat my hat if b. turned
out to be possible.
Cheers
Ian
