It's probably because this tool was designed back before the days that OS X
was even conceived in the mind of Steve Jobs, and definitely before Office
2002 or whatever is the latest... I crash Excel also, when I try to run the
Macro... It is dependant on some OS 9-only communication tools, running in
the OS 9 and earlier Communications Toolbox. I doubt we will ever get it to
work on the latest versions of Excel. Have you tried running an earlier
version of Excel under Classic? I just loaded Excel 98, ran the QFExchange
4.0 installer, and installed the QFExchange 3 package (from this folder on
UNNA: <http://toronto.unna.org/unna/applications/NewtonWorks/qfworks/ >) and
was able to upload my fuel conversion spreadsheet...!!!!! I'm amazed!
So, anybody want an Excel version of the NewtonWorks spreadsheet I use to
convert liters to gallons, and miles to km? ;-)
