Migrating from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ 7.1

Hi,

We currently have VBA SDK 6.3 support in our product that is compiled under VC++ 6.0/SP5. When I compile the VBA code in VC++ 7.1, I get the following errors. We are using un-managed code in our application. Is there a patch or a newer version of SDK that I should be using Is there a migration document that shows how to convert existing applications from VC++ 6.0 compiler to VC++ 7.0/7.1 compiler

Thanks for your help,

Hi Vittal,

Our support engineer did some research on this issue and responded with the following:

The migration of VBA SDK is not so smooth. For this issue, I consulted internal discussion group and got the feedback as following:< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

=============================

The 6.3 APC does not support VS 7.x. The customer will need to update to 6.4. If you could pass along the customers information, I’ll see to it. [please send your contact information to budsup@microsoft.com and I'll forward to this team]

=============================

So, VBA SDK v6.3 does not support VS7.X, we have to ask our buddy upgrade to v6.4 first. Moreover, let’s talk about the supportability of VBA SDK. As I know, Microsoft has engaged < xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Summit to provide a wide support service to VBA customers. Please refer to following documents:
