hi don,

yes, office 2008 mac version not support vba.

you can use of same objects available in vba office, not have links examples; suggest testing code directly on mac if possible, if there issues, can post new thread here , can troubleshoot it.

you can find more information regarding vba on office mac in msdn article:

vba office mac.
