    Don’t worry, Microsoft is dropping support for it soon too

      Vba isn’t being dropped. They stopped allowing macros to run automatically without warning the user. That was for security.

      MS isn’t Google/Apple. They keep backwards compatibility in Office for forever.

      Could you elaborate, please? I tried looking it up and I only found a post from 2010, asking if VBA for Access and Excel will stop being supported in 2012" and a couple articles that state how much MS apparently dislikes VBA (the lack of some feature-updates are shown as evidence for that).

      I currently rely on a couple VBA scripts at my job that I wrote myself. I understand that they likely won’t just stop working tomorrow (too many companies use VBA in important documents), but if it’s already clear what will replace VBA sooner or later, I’d like to know so I can get a headstart, kind of.
