Is VBA separate from Visual Basic?

Hi--

I want to install Visual Studio 05, but, as a consultant, I'm worried about
backward compatibility. Most of my clients have older versions of Access and
VBA. If I upgrade to .net, will it also upgrade my VBA engine, and, if so,
does it support depreciated code? I don’t want to isolate my clients.

--Thanks,
Mike J

VS.NET does not upgrade VBA.

I'm running VS.NET 2005 and Access 2003 on the PC I'm using to write this,
and haven't experienced any co-existence problems so far. I can't speak for
any earlier versions of Access - I would not expect it to cause a problem,
but I have not tested it.

There's no connection between VBA and VB.Net (just as there's no connection
between VB and VB.Net)

Thanks, but Thanksgiving was over a month ago here in Canada (and I don't
believe Brendan gets a Thanksgiving holiday in Ireland)

The joys of working in the global community! <g>
