Steve, You did interpret correctly. If MS supports a product that uses VBA for X time, then it will support VBA for that same time. VBA is not a separate product that has a its own support lifecycle. I just found this article from Patrick Smith - a MS employee. He states that the version of Office after 2007 will also support VBA (news to me!), so VBA will be supported for 10 more years after THAT release. If that happens in, say, 2010, then VBA will be supported till 2020. http://blogs.msdn.com/patricksmith/archive/2006/03/24/560425.aspx Read the paragraph at the end of this page about VBA 'going away': http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa159886(office.11).aspx#odc_ofcomp arevba6andvsto_isvba60goingaway This talks about discontinuation of VBA Licensing: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/isv/bb190542.aspx This appears to be MS's home page for VBA: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/isv/bb190538.aspx Perhaps this will help more! Dan -----Original Message----- Thanks a lot, Dan. I admit I misinterpreted your earlier post - I thought you were referring to a statement from Microsoft specific to VBA lifecycle. Anyway, that is a very interesting site, which I hadn't seen before. So thanks again.
