Office 2009

[Oorang]

Hello All,
From what I can gather, Office 2009 will using a variant of VB.Net instead of or current flavor of VBA (VB6). Does anyone know of any links to resources on this topic (developer blogs etc.) I am trying to get ahead of the trend now as I think this will cause a lot of upheaval in amonst heavy office users.

Microsoft is moving away from VBA in Office:

And replacing with Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications (VSTA) and
Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO):

The above Microsoft links have lots of info, videos, blogs etc...

Good posts. I think that's funny about 14. Here is another link I am finding helpful (not strictly about 2009 but a good look at where things are heading.)
