I have a (large) application that was written in Excel 3.0.  Has anyone noticed
any of the following problems with macro sheet compatability between 3.0
and 4.0 on the Macintosh?

1.  CREATE.OBJECT, when working with a multiple selection (two columns) and
    being told to create an XY chart (first column = x) either makes a bar
    chart or makes an XY chart with about 5 series on it.  Works OK for
    non-multiple (two column) selection.

2.  ROW.HEIGHT told to unhide previous rows from 100 to 16384 under some circum-
    stances places you in never-never land as far as location on the spreadsheet
    with only one (upper left) or less cells visible and inability to scroll
    around with scroll bars.

As far as I have tried, these do not appear to be bugs in 4.0 for Windoze, just
for the Mac.  They work in 3.0 for the Mac as well (program was developed in
3.0).
E-mail replies preferred as I skim this group quickly and may miss posts.
Thanks in advance.-kby@alumni.caltech.edu
