Is there a way to open  workbooks with Form controls in Excel on my Android tablet. Seems kinda useless right now if most of my files have something like this

Hello Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Office community.

The feature you are looking for is currently not available in Excel for Android tablet.

As mentioned in the following article, OLE objects or ActiveX control are not supported on Android device.

We listen to all feedback and consider it for future releases. Your feedback helps us know which features are most important to you. However, for a variety of reasons we cannot discuss planned features, their priorities, or the dates that we expect these features to be released.

You may also consider sending feedback and suggestions; you may refer to the following link for same:

Thank you.

    I really really hope the new update includes  Form Controls as I also find it very limiting in how I can put to use the tablet I purchased today. I am disappointed.

    I understand that you cannot divulge when these updates will  be available but it seems to me that there are many people waiting on them. The Active X problem seems to have been cleared up in the last update, I urge you to please sort out the forms control issue ASAP.

    Thanks

    Adrian
