What is being developed is not a vba-equivalent program in dotnet... it is an automation application. Thus you are creating a dotnet app (usually in vb.net since there are some c# issues with the 2003 tools under c#) that will create or act upon word or excel files. As far as I know, MS has not even started rumors on when dotnet would migrate into the world currently occupied by vba. The dotnet office tools are, as stated earlier, only for word and excel 2003.

I think the idea is that you develop it in VS.Net and then deploy it in *either* Word or Excel.

Hi Jim > Ken Getz did a demo of the Excel/Word tools last week at VSLive. These > are really neat tools that let you develop a Word or Excel application > from within Visual Studio. But why should one do that? I'm still confused on a higher level. No wonder MS asks in surveys to their dealers if we understand .net strategy and if we promote it to our clients. And boy if the asked the same about Access and Access development? What answer could I possibly give? /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
