Paul,

thank you.

I was hoping that someone had already walked that path. If I have to
spend too much time on getting it to work, it is probably a better
business decision to just continue with the VB approach.

There is another quote to add.
  "If theory and fact disagree, so much for the facts!"

I will try to get something here but not disturb the community since my
allowed time to work on this will be minimal since there was not a
previous answer.

Again, thanks,
George

In theory, you could write a DSL in Groovy that understood your VB tests
but I am reminded of a quote:

  "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in
practice, there is."

or the other variation I have seen:

  "The difference between theory and practice in theory is much less
than the difference between theory and practice in practice."

Perhaps you could post one simple test (or part thereof) and we might
be able to comment further on whether we think that path is viable.

Cheers, Paul.
