VB vs. VBA
By Richard Rost   Richard Rost on LinkedIn Email Richard Rost   16 years ago

Q: I am not a programmer by nature. A while ago, I purchased VB 101. Good stuff. My goal is to become "decent" with VBA. How different is it from straight VB? Will your new VB courses take me in that direction? - Lou

A: Lou, VBA is a close cousin of VB.

VB is a self-contained programming environment used for building standalone programs.

VBA is used with other programs (Visual Basic for Applications) like Word, Excel, and Access.

As far as the classes that I have online, my VB courses are pretty old. They're for an older version (Visual Basic 6.0) that was very popular back in it's day, but is no longer sold by Microsoft. You might be able to find an old copy on eBay or somewhere like that. But, be careful and make sure it's an original copy. Even though it's old, it's still a good, simple application to learn programming with (especially for beginners).

I have plans to revise my VB course for Visual Studio (which contains the latest version of VB) but I haven't had time yet.

If you want to learn VBA for Microsoft Access, then I start covering that in Access Developer 1. I teach VBA specific to Access.

I do have plans to make VBA classes for the other Office applications (Excel, Word, etc.) and I'm also going to make a generic VBA language class the covers the syntax for ALL VBA applications (things like variables, loops, etc.) but that's still in development.

There are also some 3rd-party Visual Basic-like programs available, like twinBasic. I may make tutorials for those too. Again, still in planning.
