When Microsoft move to a 64 bit environment in about three years time (from my understanding), MS have stated that they will no longer officially support VBA (I'm guessing applications using VBA will keep running but there will be no IDE to develop within). |

Have you submitted a case or enhancement request or notified Telelogic of this concern? I'm just curious what their response would be/is.

I am going to today along with some other concerns. With some of the posts I have read on this forum I get the general impression that Telelogic are a bit behind the eight ball with this product. Having worked with it though I'm not surprised :-)

Hi guys,
VBA's successor is called VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications). VSTA is the .NET equivalent of VBA. Please see these links for reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/vsta/ http://www.summsoft.com/VSTAFactSheet.asp However, VBA is far from dead. The information in the MSDN blog below is what we've read about the future of VBA, and is similar to what Microsoft has told us. If you've got some other information on the matter, please let us know. Lou http://blogs.msdn.com/patricks...006/03/24/560425.aspx In case the page disappears: VBA and Office Availability After hearing from and talking to you during the Office Developer Conference this week, I realize that there is some misinformation or at least a misunderstanding about the future of VBA in office, so I wanted to clear this up. Specifically, Microsoft is committing to ship and support VBA in office for the next 2 versions. That is the 2007 Office System and then the next version beyond that. In addition, the support policy is that when we release software, it's supported for 10 years after release. What does this mean to you? VBA is not dead and we are committed to ensuring that the existing investment you have in VBA is realized and supported. Hope this clears things up, Patrick Published Friday, March 24, 2006 3:54 PM by patricksmith |
