VB as we know it, as far as Office 13 and beyond may (will) be dead. The Office products will no longer support Visual Basic except within macros. I would assume this functionality or lack of it will also extend to Access as well. Not to worry, according to the attached linked article, another scripted language will replace VB. Office applications will now support JavaScript programming. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/07/microsoft_apps_for_office/ Aside: I do like the new TypeScript editor but for some reason the product removed the requirement to put a semi-colon at the end of each line. Many years ago it took me a long time to learn to drop the semi-colon and then it took a while to relearn to add the semi-colon and now I have to learn to drop it again. :-( I think it should be a rule that all languages are required to have a semi-colon at the end of a line of code. It makes it so easy to unscramble compressed code blocks... Jim
