Thanks for the heads up Dennis. I've signed it and encourage the rest of the members here to do so as well. The numbers so far: 170 MVPs, 360 total. Let's get these higher and let MS know how we want them to proceed.

I would not defend VB 6, I rather to incorporate VBA in Visual Studio and have the hability to create EXE and DLLs straight from VBA and then yes, use VSTO all the way.
