Using managed code in Office 2003

[Thilaka]

Some time back i learnt that Office 2003 will be built to be able to use
managed code (instead of the classic VBA).
Is this true.

Can someone please, give me a link where i could learn about this (a few
samples perhaps).
(preferably Word or Excel 2003).

Regards,
Thilaka

Thilaka,
Although the following site is largely using Outlook with .NET. It includes
a couple of links to using Excel with .NET.

http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm

Specifically the section on Office XP Primary Interop Assembly (PIA). Note
Office 2003 will install the PIA when you install Office (possible optional
install). The articles on the PIAs includes links to other articles that may
be useful also.

Hope this helps
Jay
