No. That was "foreplay".

OpenDCL is only for dialog control language, and has nothing to do with VBA. So no. VBA will be replaced with .NET if memory serves.

Okay, I was just questioning a statement I read from an Augi e-mail from OpenDCL.org

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

Edit: Fixed.

There are some knowledgeable and extremely competent AUGIans.  They don't limit the email access to those though.

The knowledgeable ones are the forumites, not AUGI maganament:

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.

It did for me . . ..

My two cents....

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