Hi Ed,
Per our official announcement on the return of VB, we will be bringing it
back in the next major version of Office, not in an update to Office 2008.
I'm sure we would bring it back sooner if we could, but the task is pretty
monumental, so you will have to wait for the next version.
Thanks,
Pat
