I fail to see the reason for creating a standalone app if
it needs Microsoft Office to run anyway. VBA and VB6 is
really the very same thing and therefore equally
powerful. (But that's really none of my business, sorry
;-)

One reason is for improved security. Something I'm looking
into now, which is daunting. I'd rather commission someone
to help do it properly - seriously!
