::There aren't, really. Visual Basic 4/5/6 is a general-purpose implementation of VBA, while the VBA embedded in apps such as Word, Excel, etc is geared toward that specific app -- things like the <code>Document</code> object in MS Word and the <code>Spreadsheet</code> object in MS Excel. (Forms also work somewhat differently.) But VBA can do literally anything that VB6 can (except compile), and VB can do anything that VBA can do, and the code is ''almost'' identical.
::Most non-.Net VB code can be run from VBA with little or no changes, and vice-versa. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 20:19, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
:::Hm. This suggests a way to fix language categorization for VB and VB.Net. On one hand, you have Visual Basic.NET. On the other, you have Visual Basic for Applications. Categorization ambiguities between VB 4/5/6, VB.Net and VBA were a thorn in my side from nearly the very beginning of this site. That still leaves VB 1/2/3, though. (And I played with VB for DOS as a kid. I don't know where that fits) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:57, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
