Everything I've seen in .NET still supports earlier versions of everything including ASP.

VB Petition Hello all, Some of you may already be aware of this, for the rest of you I'm forwarding it on for your convenience. Yes, it is true. MS is planning to kill off all support for Classic VB and VBA. This is not just about VB as a language being "supported" by Microsoft, it's also about the ability to later use the applications you've developed over the last few years in future version of Windows. They could realistically choose not to support VB6 compiled applications under Longhorn. For us small businesses and consultants, imagine fielding the tech support call and having to tell a company that just spent $75,000 on their latest application server that they've got to downgrade their Operating System in order to run the application(s) you've written for them. Classic ASP is also related to this, and will be next in line to fall. Regards, Shawn K.

I won't tell you to sign it, but I will STRONGLY SUGGEST that anyone who works with Office VBA should be sure to read this and do what they feel is right...as the future of VB is strongly tied to the future of VBA in Office! http://classicvb.org/petition/ This article will give some backup info: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/developer/0,39020387,39190953,00.ht m Dian D.
