Often asked question.

I think it is clear, MS would like to see the back of it, they would like us
all to move onto .Net. However, there is such an investment in VBA that they
realise that they cannot just walk away from it. They may not improve it
(and boy, there are so many ways it could be improved), but the realise they
would create a non-selling product if they created an Excel without VBA.

I am sure the day will come when VBA goes, but I cannot see that that date
is in the foreseeable future. Many still envisage making a living from it.

Hi All,

I learnt VBA a few years back and despite being a non-programmer, i
really really liked the way it works with Excel. VBA have been
constantly amazing me with its capabilities to perform various
seemingly tough tasks. From looking for all files in a folder to
uploading files to servers with FTP.

I know VBA for Excel is a career in itself for programmers now. But
from a long long time perspective do people here think that Excel VBA
applications developers have healthy future?

I have seen so many great people in this forum, MVPs and perhaps this
is the best source of learning. I am just thinking at this point if,
should i do more in VBA ? or should i move to other web based
languages?

What is your opinion on FUTURE OF VBA for Excel?

MVPs and experts here, I would like to thank you guys for sharing the
knowledge.

Thanks
Ankur
