 VB.NET vs VB/VBA

Hi,

At my company, I've just got Visual Studio .NET CDs, while
I had requested Visual Studio 6.
Before installing .NET i'd like to know your opinion,
assuming I never program in n-tier architecture and never
for the Web.
- I program mainly in VBA, for Excel. If I install .NET,
can I still use my VBA projects/code/controls?
- I have heard there is a lot of overhead in .NET
(true/false?). What about VB.NET speed vs VB6 (Specially
in large loops)?
- Any good books?

I am however attracted by the new capabilities such as
inheritance. Maybe it's a lucky mistake that will make me
move forward to .NET ... for the best...

Thanks,
Seb

yes, VBA macros will still be the same, it doesn't change anything

VB.Net is supposed to be much faster, but I haven't tested how much

Personnaly, I don't see any reason to use VB6 instead of VB.Net, except if
we already know VB6 and don't want to move, or if we have to maintain
existing projects.
