Does anyone care?
It sounds like it is pretty much just a freeze of the current Office 365.
Which as we know contains xlSlow, so I assume that’s not getting its performance fixed, ever.
Has anyone got it?
Is it any good?
I only just picked up a cheap 2016, so I can’t see me ‘upgrading’ to 2019 any time soon, if ever.
I’m doing a lot of SQL Server at the moment which is a nice change, and SSIS, which is less nice. But still better than the Access I was doing. I like the Access visual designer (a bit), but the rubbish SQL editor is frustrating. In the end I had all the SQL in notepad++ (colour coded key words, indenting and new lines (MS Access team take note – how hard can it be?). And looking at the visual designer for the joins. Not a bad way of working actually…
And I have been messing with RubberduckVBA, it seems that’s currently the best way to indent other peoples shitty VBA, to make it at least semi-readable. (Smart Indenter seems to be pining for the fjords with a combo of lack of VB6 love at MS and increased ‘security’.). (I am sure I used to have a VBA version of that somewhere).
Anyway, another shout out for the developExcel conf in a few weeks. I have been busy messing with VSTO and Addin Express in preparation. It looks like there are going to be quite a few of us (100 ish I believe).
Rach from the 2013 conf
said she would come if her sock drawer was in order.
