No. That was "foreplay".

Personally I'd question ~~anything~~ everything in an AUGI email.

Edit: Fixed.

Is Open DCL going to replace VBA?
I understood that VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications) would someday replace VBA.
In fact there was a product in the MS Office 2007 suite (not Word, Excel or Access) that included a version of VSTA.
I saw a demo of it at AU last year.

Open DCL recently went open-source from what I gather.

VBA wil be replaced by a subset of VB.Net just as VBA is A subset of VB
