Microsoft General Purpose Programming Languages

VBA Programming Language

The Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) computer programming language is intended to be used in conjunction with a host software application such as a word processor. In such a situation, the end-user of a host application uses the VBA language to write programs that may access and control the host application’s data and functionality. VBA is used within Microsoft Office products for this purpose.
