unfortunately, yes it surely can. since infopath is a new application that
has no substantial user base nor does it have literally thousands of
applications written for it. that is not the case with Access, Excel, Word,
and Outlook. therefore, i personal wouldn't worry about VBA going away
anytime soon.

Hi,
Jerry Winters showed us "Microsoft Office InfoPath" with VSTA built in at
AU. It's not in the rest of Office yet, but surely it can't be far away.

VBA.

The Express versions of Visual Studio are free and enough to do much of what
you would need in AutoCAD development. However, the full versions certainly
have advantages if you are doing significant work.
VSTA, Visual Studio Tools for Applications is the intended replacement to
VBA for Microsoft, but Autodesk has not committed to that yet, AFAIK.

This may be silly... but if Dot Net is what should be used for developing
new apps instead of AutoCAD VBA going forward... aside from taking a class
to get over the learning curve isn't there a $$ cost involved to get the
programming API to develop in?... Is there, or will there be a .NET for
Applications in some future AutoCAD version just like there is VBA for VB?
