[AccessD] Access 2007 Question

Don't have Access 2007, but is prior versions you can select a macro, and then on the Tools/Macro menu there is a 'Convert Macros to Visual Basic'  option.

Subject: [AccessD] Access 2007 Question

I have downloaded and built all the Access 2007 template apps. Every single one of them does its magic with macros not with VBA. This begs some
questions:

1. Does this indicate that developers are no longer welcome in the Access community? How are we to read this, when even Northwind has been translated to macros from VBA code?

2. Is there a wizard that converts a macro to VBA code? Or should I just cut and paste the macro in question to the code window and then attempt to translate it to VBA code?

3. Should we Access developers regard this as the definitive signal to move to Visual Studio or some other dev platform? (Just about the only thing that keeps me on Windows is Access; take away that and you may as well call me an Ubuntu boy.)
