What are the disadvantages of VBA?
While VBA has many strengths, it also has some disadvantages. Here are some you’ll want to consider: • VBA as a technology is over 10 years old, and it is being slowly replaced by a new programming platform, .NET Framework. There is no indication that Corel will license the .NET Framework platform for use in its office products. • Not all editions of WordPerfect support VBA, while all editions support PerfectScript. This may restrict your ability to deploy VBA-based solutions to customers, or throughout an organization. • Starting with WordPerfect 12, Corel is no longer including VBA files as part of the package, indicating it is phasing out support for it. • VBA requires a deeper understanding of how the application works, and requires more study and development effort. PerfectScript is easier to learn.
