Fair point re support... however VBA is still in use.
So is VB6, despite people like me actively trying to kill it. It's a catastrophic success that simply refuses to die.

Will that ever die or be as much as a thing of the past as the c64?
It's not that black and white; it's being phased out and replaced by .NET versions. VBA is meant as an in-application script host, even though they can be run stand-alone. And yes, in ten years time you'll still come across a customer with some XP-machine that hasn't seen an update since it was installed. (These are often the cozy homes of botnets)

As far as I can see the VB6 and VBA are identitcal.
Close! VBA and VB6 share syntax and some libraries. There was a third taste, called "eVB" (embedded), used to write in VB6-style for WinCE 5.

All that said I should make the jump... however ms access allows me to do what I need
Most of the corporate users do not need anything beyond C64-basic to do their work. Move to a modern platform, or be obsoleted - that's the choice.

I'm not saying that it's easy to make a move; I'm a WinForm-programmer, and even though WinForms isn't obsoleted yet, and despite the fact that it'll only generate costs and bugs to replace a working form, I know I can't stay hooked on the forms forever. It's often a good idea to use the old and tested way, so one can guarantee a result - but for that we depend on the manufacturer of the OS to support our infrastructure.
