Your story reminds me of Jack Paar (a USA talk show host in the 1960's):

Best laugh I had all week... I haven't wiped the smile off my face since I
read it... Reminds me a story from "The Book of Heroic Failures". True
stories of things gone wrong. A parish Priest spent years compiling info on
all of the people burried in the local cemetery. Spent a couple of years
looking up a Head stone with HWP and a date on it. Finally gave up and put an
add in the local paper to find out if anyone knew of a HWP burried in the
local cemetery. He got a response and found out that the marker denoted the
location of the Hot Water Pipe...

Dear HTH:

I didn't mean to cause embarrassment (or spelunking or any kind of rock
crawling).

(Yes, I have seen that kind of response!)

Acronyms/jargon can be DTFO (difficult to figure out).

Feeling stupid and looking about the same... I just figured something else
uses VBA... How nice for it... Interesting... I think I will just crawl under
a rock now...

I believe that MS licensed VBA to others--IIRC, AutoCad uses VBA, too.

Both VB and VB.net are stand alone applications which can create precompiled
executable files (don't need Excel or any other program to run). VBA is a
subset of VB6. It only works in conjuction with Office. VB.Net is the
latestest version of Visual Basic. Essentially it is VB7. There are more
differences between VB6 and VB.net than can be discussed on this form. In a
nut shell VB.net is designed to work better with the other MS developement
applications like C# and C++, as they all compile to similar source code.
This means that VB6 code needs to be modified to complie under VB.net (no
more changing the option base, error handling is drastically changed, every
project must have a "Main" procedure...). Also VB.net is truely object
oriented while VB6 is not (a little bit but not completely).

As Tom mentioned VB6 and VB.net can be purchased stand alone or as part of
the MS Developer Suite (The same way you can purchase just Excel or you can
purchase the entire office suite).
