    Apple Mac error " Could not load objects because it is not available on this machine"

    I have come to learn that Excel 2011 will not support many VBA components; I bought a new Macbook Pro but disappointed that I can't run VBA rich applications on my Mac. Is any type of improvements expected that anyone know of or ways to circumnavigate this?

    On opening my file, I get a dialog box "MS Forms"

    "Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine"

    Thanks

    Apple doesn't support ActiveX apparently.

    If you wish to run VBA on Mac I will suggest Boot Camp or virtual machine software. Excel 2011 is a step forward but is not 100% compatible and does not perform so well as PC version.

    Boot Camp allows booting into Windows installation. Virtual machine allows running Windows while still running OSX. I do not understand what "disassociate Mountainlion" means?
