It is possible to launch your Macro by creating a.vbs file. To do this, open notepad and add the following: objExcel = CreateObject('Excel.Application') objExcel.Application.Run file path, module and macro name here objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False objExcel.Application.Save objExcel.Application.Quit Set objExcel = Nothing. In fact, if you have enabled AutoSave and AutoRecover, Office Excel will automatically recover your Excel files that left unsaved on Mac when you open Excel again, all you need to do is save the file immediately. Also, there is another option to do Excel recovery by using AutoRecover: Step 1. Click on Finder App on your Mac, go to GoGo to Folder. Then click on “Open”. Finally click on ‘Command”. On the right hand side, you should see a subkey by the name (Default). Double click on it and change its value to: “C: Program Files Microsoft Office Office15 EXCEL.EXE” “%1” (Note: If your Office folder isn’t located in the path specified above, you can change it.

Greetings,
I have been perplexed by an issue that came up at the same time I started using OpenOffice 3.3.0. Due to the constraints of opening spreadsheets with more than 66K lines of data in Excel 2003 (which ultimately needed to be imported into a table in Access 2003), I installed OpenOffice. It worked great. All I did was open the .xlsx spreadsheet within Calc and save it as a .csv to a shared server file (mapped drive). I was then able to import the .csv into a table in Access and go on with life.
At the same time I started using Calc, other users on the network complained that some Excel files on the server would no longer open. I was dismissing this as mere coincidence, but now I am not so sure. Is it possible that OpenOffice Calc tags something in the server registry that might cause this? My research results are below:
1) Excel files on a mapped drive to the server will not open. Excel will launch and act as though it is opening the file, but ultimately never does. The size of the file does not seem to matter.

2) Calc will open the same file from the same location that Excel could not open with no delay.
3) If you copy the Excel file from the server to the local workstation, it opens right up in Excel with no delay whatsoever.
4) Other Excel files on the same server directory open up right away within Excel, but I cannot pinpoint (because I do not remember) if these are the same files I had originally modified with Calc.
5) It does not matter if the workstation has OpenOffice installed or not.
6) It does not matter what OS the workstation is running.

7) I have checked the File Options to ensure that Excel is the default startup application.
