Visual Basic

[Nine Zero]

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question, if I have knowledge of VBA in Excel could i be certain to say that i know Visual Basic ...not for applications. Are they literally both the same programming language?

Don't know if this makes sense lol

No. VBA is really just a subset of VB. So VB is much larger than VBA.

While there are some similarities, there are a lot of differences. If you know VBA only, it's really unlikely you'd be able to sit down with Visual Studios and code something significant.
