[Mono-list] Am confused.

VBA is used as the macro language for all of the MS-Office applications.
They also packaged it in such a way that you can license it and embed it
into your own custom applications. Their spin is "Why write your own macro
language when you can use our VB like (or should I say lite) language."

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is a subset of VB available in the
Office applications, used to create macros and modules.

There were also, if I recall correctly, components made available from
the office apps that you could use to create office documents
programatically.
