VBA will invole .net?

[Cole]

Hi

sorry if I am in the wrong place and my English is not very good, as I
understand the new version of VB is VB.net, I wonder if VBA will use the
same .net technology for the new versions of MS Office?

Cole,

The soon to be released version of Office 2003 uses standard VBA. There is
also Visual Studio Tools for Office which allow you to use NET languages to
extend workbooks and Word documents with NET code.

Hi Cole

Not in this version (2003). What the future brings one can only guess. My guess is yes;
everything will move towards managed code when it comes to Windows programming.

This said, Visual Studio.Net has great capabilities for extending the new Office already.
So if vb.net or C# is ypur platform, that should be your approach.

wonder if is worth to start.

Thanks
