After returning from a brief session with Microsoft on some of the new features of Access "14", I thought many would be pleased to know that they are letting us confirm that VBA will live on in the next release of Access.
I can't share any other details due to confidentiality agreements, but I'm sure they won't mind me saying the Access community will be thrilled with the next release.
So cheers to the incredibly hard working folks at Microsoft that continue to make Access the leading desktop database, and to the promising future.
