Steve, Microsoft has already stated that they want Access apps to use macros rather then VBA because macros can be secured through sandbox mode where as VBA code cannot be. I'll did out the reference...

Jim, I have not heard any credible suggestion of Microsoft wanting to "move away from VBA" for Access, nor can I imagine anyone aspiring to make macros emulate or replace full VBA functionality. If there was, I would agree with you totally.
