Originally released in 1996, VDS2000 was the first product of its kind available worldwide, offering support for Microsoft Visual Basic Impact Analysis, Remediation, and Coverage Testing.
Unlike other so-called "generic" or "language-independent" products, VDS2000 has a built-in Visual Basic language parsing engine that understands the language entirely and doesn't just perform simple text searches and other basic tasks. As such, VDS2000 is much better equipped to locate and deal with Year 2000 date-challenged code.
Version 3.0 of VDS2000 builds on the success of previous versions by providing enhanced functionality and additional features (including eight new impact analysis reports), designed to minimize the time spent performing Year 2000 operations. Version 3 covers Visual Basic versions 3, 4, and 5. In addition, version 3 now supports an optional add-in called VBA2000 (developed in-house by TMS), which works directly with VBA source code imbedded within Microsoft Access databases and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (in both Office 95 and Office 97).
