Ken, If not VBA, what will it run? I'm not sure that the article indicates what everyone is thinking; that this is the end of VBA. It just says that Microsoft doesn't want to support VBA on the Mac.

Access developers have to at least consider the possibility that Office 2007 will be the last version of Office that will natively run VBA. -Ken -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
