I thought this collection of Office 2010 deployment and upgrade resources would be useful.

Solutions you develop internally or create for public consumption should function as designed when users upgrade to Office 2010. Here you will begin to learn what you need to know when you migrate existing application code. You can find information about application compatibility tools, programs, and guidance.

Tools and Guidance

Office 2010 Code Compatibility Inspector

The Office Code Compatibility Inspector for VBA and the Office Code Compatibility Inspector for Visual Studio are add-ins that you install with Office 2010 or Visual Studio. The tools scan VBA, VB.NET, and C# code for object model usage that is incompatible with Office 2010.
