excel.training.course.london - Excel VBA 2003

Hi

Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications both stem from the same language - Basic, so they have at least a fundamental similarity.

They both have a very similar level of Object Orientation.

The way you address objects and collections of objects, the way you respond to events, call methods and set properties is the same across both languages, although there are slight variations in the specific names of events or properties but in general they are almost the same.

There is a major difference between VB and VBA: a VB application is launched as an application in its own right, whereas the VBA program has to be launched by the host application eg Excel VBA.

Hope this answers your question
