Microsoft Office Migrations Upgrading macros and vba code and the speed tester to prevent slowness and locking issues

Some of the recent challenges have been migrations from older versions of office to Office 2010 and for some firms to Office 2007.
The applications requiring the most changes have been Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access, This seems to be due to the whole new way these applications work which changes functionality and breaks others, plus the way these were previously designed may not have been that robust.

Also many of the "VBA" or"Macro Enabled" applications many firms have, weren't designed to be easily moved from a Dev to UAT to Production environment.

Working for a Microsoft Gold Partner means we get to play the latest technologies before they hit the market and can do most things 2 to 5 times faster than the average IT guy....
