XL98: Web Form Wizard Add-in Is Not Available (181095)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181095 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition does not support using the Web Form
Wizard add-in. Because this add-in uses functionality that is not available
on the Macintosh platform, this feature is not available in Excel 98.
CAUSE
The Web Form Wizard allows you to request and gather information over the
Internet by using forms. Because you can use a Microsoft Excel worksheet to
simulate a form, you can use Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows as an engine to
generate a form for the Web. The Web Form Wizard add-in uses either the
Microsoft Internet Information Server or Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to
send information to an internet site. The wizard saves the data in the
Microsoft Access database (.mdb) file by using Data Access Objects (DAO).
However, Data Access Objects are not available on the Macintosh platform.
STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
