Cost of a solution from Excel to VBA
 

I am developing a portfolio management system in Excel and wishh to
commercialise it. I know it will depend upon the scope of the project but
ballpark does anyone know how much it will cost to supply an excel
application and have it migrated into a VB application for distribution as
it is not a task I would want to do myself.

Assuming the program flow and code is there, what will it take?

I know this is a very broad question but are there any guidlines anyone
could supply to help assess the cost and time involved?

Kind regards, Mark

Hi,
At a minimum you would have to supply what you expect this system to do. If
you can determin what you want as an output, someone can probobly help decide
what it takes to accomplish that output. That would only begin the scope of
the work, but that might be a starting point.

Thanks,

If you could buy VB6.0, I am sure you could migrate the code yourself. The
easiest route will be to export your modules from Excel & iport them into VB.
In a lot of places, you might have to fully qualify the object references--in
a lot of places VBA copes with this but VB won't.

Ideally, you would want to use Excel 2003 & .NET for Office. This would be a
steep learning curve but it would mean that the product has concurrency with
prevailing standards. HAve a look at MS.Net Development for Microsoft Office
