[AccessD] Poll on Access 2007

"Interesting to note that VBA will now be included in Mac Office, so... still on the rise."

Now I find this really curious as I recall reading many pages from MS Mac Office dev team explaining in great detail about how sad they were they had to kill off VBA, but it just wasn't technically possible to keep it on the Mac platform moving forward.  There were blogs, forums, emails and all kinds of chatter about this. but it always came back to "it wasn't technically feasible anymore" and VBA was dead on the Mac Platform.

And then suddenly VBA was back in the next release - and without much fan-fare?

Now what was all that about??

Did removing VBA make enough existing customers angry enough to walk away in such numbers that the product was no longer viable?  and was the whole "drop VBA from Office Mac" a beta run for removing it from Windows Office? - one which seems to have had very bad commercial impact on the Mac product.

still want some answers on this topic...

cheers
Darryl
