Yeah, I'm a big fan of using COMAddins over VBA. Though, I suppose the 
.Net tools aren't really COM in the same way anymore. C++ is my choice 
tool now but I'll use C# if .Net is really necessary. The nice thing 
about C++ is that it still lets me use my 3rd party ActiveX components 
that also work with VB6/VBA projects.<g>
