Hello VSTA

UPDATE: Goodbye VSTA, LOL

I reckon VBA is history and VSTA is the the new kid on the block for the next version of Excel. Breakdown of the acronyms:

VBA – Visual Basic for Applications

VSTA – Visual Studio Tools for Applications

Even though I haven’t heard a word about it out of the PDC this week, I’ve run into this article What is Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications? which sounds like a VBA successor to me.

They also have a VSTA blog.

I couldn’t find much in the search engines, however a blog search turns up a few people mentioning VSTA.

Can't get the tutorial to work for you? Need help with your code?

    wow Daddy!

    This looks atbout right, it’s what VBA is to VB.
    Funny that all of the stuff they say about VSTA is excatully the same as what can be said for VBA, lol!

    Cant wait for office 12 now, lets have a look what they give us!

    I guess that that the one big thing will be the links between VSTO and VSTA!
