<P><FONT SIZE=2>What is being developed is not a vba-equivalent program in dotnet... it is an automation application.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As far as I know, MS has not even started rumors on when dotnet would migrate into the world currently occupied by vba.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The dotnet office tools are, as stated earlier, only for word and excel 2003.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I think the idea is that you develop it in VS.Net and then deploy it in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>*either* Word or Excel.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Jim</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Ken Getz did a demo of the Excel/Word tools last week at VSLive. These</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> are really neat tools that let you develop a Word or Excel application</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> from within Visual Studio.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But why should one do that?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm still confused on a higher level. No wonder MS asks in surveys to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>their dealers if we understand .net strategy and if we promote it to our</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>clients. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>And boy if the asked the same about Access and Access development? What</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>answer could I possibly give?</FONT>
</P>
