The Excel product team is gathering data on how people are using the Excel
4.0 macro language at the present time. If you or someone you know
continues to use the Excel 4.0 macro language in current versions of Excel,
we would appreciate it if you send a response for these questions to
xlfiles@microsoft.com :

1.. How often do you use Excel workbooks that contain Excel 4.0 Macro
sheets?
2.. When was the last time the Excel 4.0 macro was modified in any way?
3.. Have you considered migrating the Excel 4.0 macro to Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA)?
4.. What, if anything, is preventing the Excel 4.0 macro from being
migrated?

Thank you for your participation,

Eric Patterson

Sounds like you getting ready to make another "improvement" to Excel.

I use XL4 to count printable pages and to modify Headers and Footers.

The migration was from VBA to XL4 as VBA cannot count
printable pages and VBA can bog down using PageSetUp.
The two languages are a team and should not be separated.
