True, but Eclipse works with Java, so that wouldn't present you problems
like it would me.

Nice article, Arthur.  What doesn't get addressed, though, is the
investment most of us have in VBA as a programming language.  Switching
to C++ or Java to work with Eclipse isn't quite as easy as switching to
VB.Net for those of us who haven't plumbed the depths of C/C++ or Java
already.  I can read the code, but I would go nuts writing it because
the punctuation drives me wild!

Charlotte,

It is no easier the other way, I am a Java Programmer and I was thrust
into Access (hence why this list is my favourite thing LOL).

Sometimes I spend time looking for a problem only to find I have written
in Java syntax.

Frustrating! We are it seems influenced pretty heavily by whatever we
learn first.
