Firstly because I didnt know VBA -> Python translators exist (though I just looked and there is one). Secondly, because I have only learned basic python and have issues getting the proper tools set up to even utilize python. Also, then I assume you couldnt make a web based program for converting? Good idea though...would you be willing to take that on? I found this one here: http://vb2py.sourceforge.net/
I meant a python transcompiler that converts old sp to new syntax.
