V8i VBA using in Connect Edition

Question

I have a number of applications that were developed in V8i using VBA. The client is moving to Connect Edition and wants the applications updated if need be. 
 I am just looking for someone to point me in the right direction as I have looked at several articles and posts but seem to be going in circles.I am downloading the CE to try it out but also trying to save some time. 
 I used the Screen Menus as the Interface. Does CE support screen menus? 
 Is there a resource I can look at about converting from the V8i VBA to CE VBA? 
 Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Frank,

 V8i VBA and CE VBA are quite the same, but not completely the same. Especially a migration from 32bit to 64bit environment results in some data type changes, but very often no changes are required to code.

 It would be good to share some links, otherwise it's a bit useless information.

 Did you search this web? There is wiki about the migration available and also the migration (some aspect and found issues) were discussed. 
 Also, I recommend to check Changes for VBA 7.1 chapter in MicroStation VBA help (vba_concepts.chm), where differences between 32bit and 64bit VBA are described.

 Did you use MicroStation documentation? Screen menus are described there (and supported).

Jon, thanks for the quick response. This is what I was thought/hoped it would be. I did look at your article on LA Solutions - 
 MicroStation CONNECT VBA 
 it too was helpful.
