The first shoe has dropped: Microsoft has abandoned VBA in its latest 
Office suite for the Macintosh:

Although there is a converter tool for older Office documents, with 
promises for VBA support in the future, Mac developers are encouraged to 
use Applescript instead.

Access developers have to at least consider the possibility that Office 
2007 will be the last version of Office that will natively run VBA.
