Yes, automation/interrop should give you access to the whole Excel Object;
but you might find vb.net 'harder' without the benefit of the Excel macro
recorder that does give you a good starting point for VBA.

Why not be bold and use VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office)?

I been programming in VBA excel for some time now and although I have not

I have VB.net and am thinking of concentrating on learning that since it
seems so much more powerful them VBA.

My programming does revolve around excel and other office apps.
Should I stick with VBA or move on?
Can I do everything in NET that I can do in VBA and more?

Would I have full access to the excel app and its objects?
Outlook app?
