VS.Net is not the smallest learning curve I have ever faced! John W. Colby www.colbyconsulting.com -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Stuart Sanders Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 3:43 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Vba and Office This may have already been discussed on this list (I don't always actively follow it anymore). The latest Woody's Office Watch had the following to say about Microsoft's Plans for Office. Stuart ----------------------------------------- 1. VISUAL STUDIO.NET FOR OFFICE 2003 SHIPS Er, ahem, make that "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System 2003" ships. If you're using Visual Basic for Applications, you're working with an orphan. Microsoft says it will keep VBA in one more version of Office, but with all the talk about Longhorn and Bullhorn (my name for the version of Office that'll ship with Longhorn in 2005 or 2006 or 2007), I'm skeptical - I think VBA in Office 2003 is probably the last VBA we'll see. MS made essentially no enhancements to VBA in Office 2003. They don't sell an Office 2003 Developer's Edition. Pretty slim pickin's. You old (and I mean that in the kindest possible way - remember, I cut my teeth on WordBasic, which was dumped for VBA eons ago) VBA programmers should face the facts and take the VS.NET plunge. Either that, or find a better job. I mean *that* in the kindest possible way, too. _______________________________________________ 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
