Tip:
Try the Libreoffice. It has better compatibility with MS VBA.

(But you need rewrite all of your macros if you want to work with LibreOffice, OpenOffice efficiently. The API+StarBasic and the MS VBA are basicly different.)

You need study the API (Application Programming Interface) functions. The embedded StarBasic IDE and Interpreter is very simple (but it is very old fashioned).

Otherwise, your example file is too complex, too complicated. It is not a simple thing to help you.
What specific command or function or subroutine you want to convert?

thanks for the detailed response but i am not good at programming. nevertheless will take your suggestions as a starting point. right now, i need identical user form that pops up while pressing the modify button under frrcALC worksheet in excel.

any help in the matter will be much appreciated.

One more thing, cells with drop down menu (data validation) that are linked in two separate worksheets are not working in the converted OO file. Infact all linkages are gone. Any remedies.
