The books were shipped from AW’s warehouse last Thursday. They have arrived at the online US stores (Amazon.com is showing next-day availability), will arrive in the US physical stores in a week or so, but may take up to a month to arrive in the UK – both for the physical stores and Amazon.co.uk.

However, you could try the ‘buy it used’ links at Amazon.co.uk, who are US companies willing to ship internationally – but I don’t know if you’ll get it any sooner that way .

Of course, if you’re anywhere near Woodford Green, I’ve just received 14 copies that I need to find a home for. I’m sure we could agree a slight discount off the list price .

That, I'm afraid, filled the chapter. The aim of the chapter is to allow the existing VBA developer to start looking at VB.NET, highlighting both the good bits and the caveats. The topic is (unfortunately) far too big to get to the level of creating custom IAs for previous versions within one chapter. If you're already writing VSTO solutions, it's unlikely that the chapter will teach you much.</p> <p>Sorry,</p> <p>Stephen Bullen</p> Hi Dennis,

The mix of available versions of Excel does not make the life easier, especially when we talk about PIA’s…

Will You book cover some detailed aspect of creating Your own set of PIA’s for 2000 or even for 97?

Kind regards,
Dennis

Thanks for the info re the licence limitations. I agree that they’re very useful (particularly the ability to have lots and lots of columns ). I guess they’re not pushed by MSFT because they’re not (themselves) .NET – though I think the PIAs are available.

Thanks for Your reply. AFAIK, the license-limitations refers to OWC 9.0 and not to later.

In fact there exist an updated version of OWC 11.0 for download at MSFT.

Personally I have only good experience with them so I’m surprised that they have not been pushed by MSFT.

Kind regards,
Dennis
