Excel 2003 has VBA.

I have not seen any public MSoft statement on VBA.

It seems reasonable to me to assume that MSoft will want its Excel

customers
to migrate to Excel 2004/2005 etc, and that many/most large customers

would
find this very difficult to do without VBA and good compatibility.

But plainly MSoft would like to eventually get rid of VB6 and VBA in order
to maximise the returns from its massive investment in .Net: I just dont

see
how they are going to manage this within the next 7-8 years from either a
technical or business perspective.

regards
Charles

Hi.

The latest Excel I've used is 2002, which has VBA. Works great.
I don't know if Excel 2003 has VBA.

My guess is that a future Excel will use VB.NET instead of VBA (or maybe
both at the same time)

Does anyone know any different. Where is VBA going? Does it have a

future?
What should I be doing now to protect myself and ease

migration/maintenance?

Cheers!
