Hi experts (excel 2003)

What's are the pitfalls if any one should watch out for when upgrade all vba, graphs, spreadsheets to windows 7/8...

Also are there any on line reading materials......

If I have missed any points, positive feedback welcome.

Are you upgrading from Office 2003?  What version are you looking to upgrade to?

If you are moving to a Win7 or Win8 Machine, you will most likely be looking at Office 2010 or Office 2013.  If that is the case, there are some VBA changes that you will run into, and may have to update your codes to work properly as some functions/codes will be depricated.  As far as graphs are concerned, you may want to reconfigure them to use new features that are available (especially if you are moving to 2013).

If you are looking to make a move, try setting up a sandbox (virtual machine running the OS of your choice + office version of your choice) and run your own tests.
