VB6 = VBA + Stand Alone IDE
Excel = VBA + Spreadsheet + Integrated IDE
Word = VBA + Word Processor + Integrated IDE
VBScript = trimmed down VBA

VB6 (the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE for stand-alone development) began to
incorporate VBA as a core library around version 4 or 5. Excel and Word
began to incorporate VBA as a core library around version 95/97. Before
that it was Word Basic.
VB.NET is a complete rewrite of VBScript, VBA, and VB6 and will
eventually replace all three. VB.NET will be the macro language for
MS Office around 2003 when they release Visual Studio for Yukon.

Hello guys,
I am confused about the Basic programming language offerings from
Microsoft. So I understand there is VB.NET, and I understand that there
was an older version of VB called VB6. Now, what is the deal with VBA?
For instance, what is the relationship between Access and Excel and
all these VB languages?
Miguel
