Programming in VB

[Todd Huttenstine]

Hey guys,

I am new to this board. I have been using VBA in Excel
for a very long time now and would now like to start
developing my own applications using Excel as a database.
Can anyone please give me any suggestions of what product
to buy that my VBA will come in helpful? I would simply
like to create my own software.

Thank you

Hi Todd,

Excel is not ( I'm serious: definately NOT ) a database. You should use
Access or SQL-Server instead.

You could switch to VB.NET which is similar in syntax, but not the same. In
that case, you'll need at least Visual Basic .NET Standard. If you intend to
write Office-based applications, you can continue using VBA since these
applications still support it.
