Ok, just breathe, it's going to be all right.
First off, I'm not sure why you didn't see this coming 5 years ago when MS
introduced .NET as its new Windows development platform, but in any event
going from VBA to VB .NET won't be a Herculean effort (but, yes there will
be effort involved).
The first place to start would be a good book/online reference on the .NET
Framework and the VB.NET language. "Programming Visual Basic .NET" by
Francesco Balena (published by MS Press) is a very good resource.
On the surface, the VB .NET syntax is somewhat similar to VB 6.0, but
underneath there is a completely different "engine" driving this train.
Understanding it will help you to understand much of the new syntax of VB
..NET.
Good luck.

I just saw Vista and Office 12 yesterday at a MS event, and it looks like
it
us VBA programmers will be forced to move to .NET.
Are there any other former VBA programmers out there? Do you have any
suggestions on how to make this process less painful? I really need some
reassurance that my brain isn't going to have a meltdown! Thanks.
