Hi Mark,
From the standpoint of VBA, you should have
very little difficulty making the transition as any
changes are relatively minor:
- the previously problematic FileSearch has
been dropped
- dealing with shapes requires care(see Ron
de Bruin at:
Shapes and VBA code in Excel 2007
http://www.rondebruin.nl/shape.htm
- Toolbar customisation changes with the advent
of the Ribbon - see Ron de Bruin at:
Change the ribbon in Excel 2007
http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm
- Graphics handling is reportedly very slow -
perform a Google search for: graphics 2007
Any transition to Excel 2007 does, however,
does involve a learning curve for Excel's GUI.
Personally, I have experienced little difficulty in
making the change, but that is not a universal
experience.

You are very welcome!
I see from another thread that you have
already encountered one of the Shape
issues ((:-

For the most part, code written in 2003 and earlier works fine in 2007.
There are some intentionally deprecated objects, and some small changes
which I presume are more likely unintentional. You have to test all of your
existing code against 2007, and debugging it is the same process you had to
follow in 2003. Where I have found the most issues is in charting
(understandably, since this is where 75% of my programming is done) and in
the new shape objects, whose object model thus far defies comprehension.
Most of these inconsistencies are trivial; they will nonetheless cause your
code to halt.
