It is impossible to predict what might happen when changing platforms. Usually, but not always (as with Application.Filesearch, for example), MS provides backwards compatability.



I don't know where you heard "vb as a language is no longer being updated". In any event, Office apps use vba, which is being updated with new functions for each Office update.
