Comments on: ESRI is dropping support for VBA after version 9.4 http://michalisavraam.org/2009/10/esri-dropping-vba-support/ intersecting space and time through gis endeavors Tue, 08 Feb 2011 01:03:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Michalis Avraam http://michalisavraam.org/2009/10/esri-dropping-vba-support/comment-page-1/#comment-2060 Michalis Avraam Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:18:59 +0000 http://michalisavraam.org/?p=168#comment-2060 Ken, It is my understanding that the VBA portion will be removed soon (it's still there in 10). I am betting that ESRI is going to move everything completely to Python with possibly some code borrowing from the Eclipse people (Eclipse + PyDev). But then again, they can keep VBA around as long as they want, knowing Microsoft will not be releasing new versions or fixes, but that sounds like a security nightmare. Ken,

Or does it mean that ESRI will simply not enhance the VBA library any further than what it already is. It sounds scary when you think that a simple Visual Basic Editor will no longer come with ArcMap. So does this mean that the Visual Basic Editor will not be available in ArcGIS 10 or 10.1?
