Is it possible to export a small excel vba project to
a "stand alone" vb program?

Probably not without doing some additional work.

Depends on what it does.

I believe that you can export the modules and/or class
modules and then import them into VB.

Click to expand...

That depends on what the program is doing. If it interacts
with Excel in any significant way then its difficult to
make it stand alone as you are relying on having Excel
installed on the target machine.

If you are simply using Excel as a programming environment
and all I/O is via user forms and vb then its easier.

You can export code modules and forms
but youd'd probably want to redo the forms as they
come into VB as a 'designer' since the form
definition is different from VB to VBA.
