Hi guys, in other posts I have exposed what an enthusiast of Excel and VBA I am.
With your help I have developped several complex applications, which are in use at my job, saving time and gaining efficiency.
Lately, some fellow workers, "career" programmers, have been telling me that the applications are great, BUT....what a pity they are written in VBA, with Excel being so unstable and all, that I should switch to VB 6, BLAH,BLAH,BLAH.
I'm more than content with VBA, and have experienced a few problems of stability myself, but nothing serious has been lost.
Also I'm more than willing to learn VB, if only for my own advancement, but ,from what I've learnt from VB so far, I thing Excel is much more flexible and straight-forward
What do you think...Is VBA better suited than VB to develop administrative applications, or is VB better in all cases ?
Would I be able to do in VB the same kind of applications that I have in VBA (accrued vacation time database, vacations pay-check calculations,etc. )
Any and all opinions are welcome
