Openoffice and RPP_FPGen_v1.0

I just downloaded openoffice as I do not have Microsoft Office, I'm just wondering if I somehow disable the macro that runs RPP_FPGenl. When I first opened Openoffice it said that it didn't allow macros to run and gave the location as to access the security settings. When I try to run the macro for RPP_FPGen nothing happens. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Keep up the great work!

I do have one item to mention, as far as the U.S. Military Packages that have been affected by the BRAC decisions some of the units are still flying. I personally know that the 186th ARW in Meridian, MS is still flying KC-135s and will be transitioning to the C-27J. The ANG C-27J's should make for an interesting package at some point.

Welcome to our forum.
Unfortunately, RPP_FPGen is designed to run with Excel only. The macro is what makes the spreadsheet work, hence why when its disabled it doesn't work.
I will be honest here and say that I don't know whether it can be converted to OpenOffice or not, as I don't know enough about OO and what scripting language(s) it can run. When it was originally released the author did say, I believe, that it couldn't be converted but whether or not that remains the case is outside my experience.

Thanks for the info on the Spartan. It does seem to be a popular choice for Air Forces at the moment and my guess is that if a model should become available then it would be a popular subject for our package managers.
