Kevin,

With the statement:

"To be clear, Microsoft is not replacing VBA with VSTA or VSTO in Office for Windows. (though VSTA and VSTO are still important developer tools for Office 14)"

Does it mean that, in Office 14, one will be able to write code in say, Excel or Access using either VBA or VSTA? Given that the first part of the statement confirms that VBA will remain and the only way to use VSTA is through the host app, I can't think of any other way to interpret the statement.

In reassuring developers that VBA will remain in Office 14, no one is actually saying whether VSTA will be added to Word, Excel, Access etc. and this is the one question that I'd like answered.

Thanks,

Colin
