    IF so, could you please tell me where? I can't find it in excel 2k7.

      Well, I don't use MS Office 2007... :) In 2003 though, it is a button in the "Edit" tool bar (Menu -> View -> Toolbars)

        TY. The VBA editor didn't change except that it uses the same theme color as the rest of office in the menu/toolbar backgrounds. All the dividers/headers elsewhere are still win32 gray. The combination is almost WTF enough to make you think no one in MS cares. :rolleyes:

          :) That's probably true, given that MS now recommends using VSTO instead of VBA.

            Not to mention office 2k8 (mac version of 2k7) doesn't support VBA at all. To make it perform well on early/mid 90's level hardware the VBA compiler/interpreters were written with large amounts of assembly code for speed so porting the PPC version to x86 wasn't an option, and the PC/mac versions ended up with very different back end connections for what were good reasons at the time; which meant they couldn't port the wintel version over either. Office for mac doesn't sell enough copies to have a very large team (it's fully funded on it's own sales), and the dev team estimated 2 years to rewrite the VBA engine.

              Yes, it does have it. When I have to swallow my pride and do any VBA in Access, the search and replace is there and it is useful.

                I cannot find it either. As you have mentioned in the other post, it must be a VSTO thing.

                  I'd recommend Notepad++ a free replacement for Notepad, with all those regex goodies you've been missing

                    It's there. Just checked in Word2000 and Word2007. You just have to show the Edit toolbar and it's right there.

                      :omg: It even forgets CTRL+Z after two usage instances. I would say, WordPad should be safe and reliable though it nags us against saving in plain text formats.

                        I have no problems at all using GOTO in small sections of code. Beats all that complicated logic and program flow nonsense :)

                        I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

                        There is a book called "Code Complete", that says that GoTo statements should always be avoided unless you're coding with Fortran

                          I have to agree that goto should be (and can be) avoided in all but the most extreme circumstances. Bill W

                            Check the sig :) Nothing wrong with GOTO.
