I have an excel sheet with activeX controls. Since ActiveX controls do not function from outside of trusted locations in versions MS Office 2007 and higher, I am supposed to convert the controls into Windows form controls. My excel sheet is password protected. I need to understand the code difference. Please guide me how to proceed. If there's any tool for fast conversion, that will be great. Thanks in advance.

  • What have you tried? You will have more chance at getting help if you provide the code you have tried. Asking for tools etc is off topic on SO –  Aug 17 '13 at 07:35
  • This is so new to me that I do not understand what code difference can an activex control have from a windows form control.Can you redirect me to any link that helps with identification of activeX controls?I'll then try how I can convert them. – user1175126 Aug 17 '13 at 07:45
  • That is where you need to start learning them - I would suggest using the search here (and maybe SuperUser.SE). Look up your heading as a search term in Google. –  Aug 17 '13 at 08:21
  • I have searched a lot but couldn't find any link relevant to my work. superuser.se looks like an album? – user1175126 Aug 17 '13 at 09:21

  • I'm now creating a new excel sheet and replacing the activeX controls by windows form controls and coding again. I guess that should work. – user1175126 Aug 19 '13 at 06:11
  • Can I just save the converted .xls as an .XLT file and it would work? – user1175126 Aug 23 '13 at 04:34
