Hello, Recently I installed a new add-in in Excel 2004 For Mac. Several of the functions in the add-in return a variant array data type; it appears that Excel 2004 For Mac VBA doesn't like variant array data types although it is perfectly happy with the variant data type. So I installed Excel 2007 in my guest OS and installed the add-in there. The add-in compiles without a problem and everything runs fine . However, I discovered that I can't use any of the shortcut function keys with Excel 2007. Either nothing happens or some Mac OS X features are spawned. I can't figure out what the problem is. So my question is have I missed some setup in Parallels or is it not possible to use function keys in Excel when running under a VM? I am using the latest release of Parallels and Vista for the guest OS. Thanks, Mike
bmwmcrider, Please check that you have "Enable Mac OS X system shortcuts" disabled in Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse.
Hello Flagg, I already tried unchecking Enable Mac OS X system shortcuts in Preferences but that didn't work. Mike
John, Thanks for the reply. I've already tried your suggestion but it didn't work. It is only Excel that I am experiencing this problem with. The other applications that I use in my Vista guest OS installation do respond to their respective short cut key inputs. If it wasn't for the fact that that I have some work books with custom VBA macros that I need I wouldn't even bother using Windows Excel - I'd be using Mac Excel 2004. Thanks, Mike
