No, but the product is now sold as part of Visual Studio.

The "express" editions can be obtained per-language:

The express editions cannot use MFC? Does that mean I will not be
able to get my Visual C++ NET 2003 macro recorder project to work
with the express edition? So I am expected to spend hundreds of
dollars for Visual Studio just to occasionally edit my macro
recorder utility?

Is there some code I can post to tell whether or not it is
compatible with the express version of Visual C++?

Thanks.

Yes. I believe the MFC components only come with the paid versions.

From what you mentioned about your project, I don't think you'd gain
much benefit from moving it to a newer toolset. If you had plans to
make use of newer C++ standards facilities, then such a move may be
worthwhile, but if you're happy with what you have, why change?
