Re: Word 2003 VB IDE & VB2005

I've noticed some syntax difference. What are the major differences
between Visual Basic in VB2005 and VB in Office 2003?

Just about everything.

VB2005 is VB.Net. It's an almost entirely new language based on the Common
Language Runtime and the .Net Framework.

The VBA (not really VB) in Office 2003 is based on VB 6.0, the one Microsoft
killed off when VB2005 was introduced.

Not only are there syntax differences, there are semantic differences, data
type differences, and general incompatibility.

That's the short answer. If you want the long answer, wait for Karl and
Jonathan to come along. <eg>
