SUMMARY
Visual Basic, Applications edition, is the core language technology behind Visual Basic 4.0 and many other Microsoft applications. Because product cycles vary, the latest version of each application may use a different version of Visual Basic, Applications edition, each with possible differences in features and syntax. In addition, some Microsoft applications still use proprietary macro languages, and while mechanisms usually exist to communicate with Visual Basic for Applications applications, these methods often vary.



Product Visual Basic for Applications Version
Microsoft Excel 5.0 1.0

Microsoft Excel 95 1.0

Microsoft Project 4.0 1.0

Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 2.0

Microsoft Access 95 2.0

Visual Basic, Applications edition version 2.0, includes support for many new features. All versions of Visual Basic prior to version 4.0 use an internal language engine, and do not use Visual Basic for Applications. Microsoft Access (up to version 2.0) uses a macro language called Access Basic, and Microsoft Word's macro language (up to and including Word 95) is named WordBasic. These languages have some similarities to Visual Basic for Applications, but remain different in many ways also.
