[AccessD] .net

And will we get true OO with inheritance etc?  That would make it all
worthwhile.

And will it break all my existing apps that use the built in VBA?  That
would make it a disaster.

AFAIU MS Access/Word/Excel VBA programming from within MS Access/Word/Excel
IDEs seems to be already marked as "must die" at MS:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/roadmap.asp

This should happen with arrival of .NET Framework 2.0 and VS.NET for Yukon
in 2004 and Office12 or later?...

<<<
Office programmability. The tools and components within Microsoft Office®
are widely used as a foundation for smart client application development,
and "Visual Studio for Yukon" will seek to unify the programming experience
between Visual Studio .NET and Office. "Visual Studio for Yukon" will
deliver support in the Visual Studio IDE for Office development, while
simultaneously continuing support for the popular VBA development approach.
With "Visual Studio for Yukon" the full breadth of Microsoft Office will be
available for the first time to developers using Visual Studio .NET.
>>>

IMO it looks like they at MS plan to remove ALT+F11(VBA programming support)
from MS Access/Word/Excel IDEs completely moving it to VS .NET. Are these
good or bad news? IMO their approach to unify .NET and VBA progamming
under/within VS.NET is a right step forward. And with arrival of such
architecure MS Word/MS Excel macro viruses' problem will be solved
automagically...

Of course I can be (completely) wrong with my guessing based on the roadmap
info referred above.
We will live, we will see...
