About office 2003, anything changed with vba?

[kazuma666]

We want to migrate to office 2003, and i'm searching for feedback on the stability and backward compatibility of it since we have a lot of customs application.
Does anyone have it installed and tested old applications with it ( by old i mean office 97 and office xp)?

Feedback would be very appreciated.

If you know of sites that does this kind of comparisons i'll be very interested in them.

Thanks

I haven't seen anything of concern when they are standard files.
The only thing I have come accross is when opening Word or
Excel when you have Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker addin installed.
There are instability issues with version 5.0

To make sure your custom applications are compatible, I guess
you could install Office on only one test workstation and see how
it goes. If you have any third party applications, you could check
their website for any possible issues.

Have just upgraded from XP to 2003 and have found that the new security features are a bit of a pain in the neck especially with Access

Yes, they increased the security. I am still trying to figure out a
way around it when my code automates Outlook.

I am thinking of trying to write a watcher program to find the
security prompt and automatically click the ok. Sloppy work
around for now though.
