Hi all,

I'm learning VB.Net 2003 at the moment as part of a university course, mainly because I want to write some applications for the work I'm doing. I also want to create some spreadsheets to automate a lot of tasks that would otherwise be a pain in the ass to do by hand. To this end I want to program Excel using the built-in VB functions.

The only thing is, I haven't used VB before so VB.Net 2003 is my first experience of this language. As far as I'm aware, the VB in Excel is a cut-down version of VB6? If so then will the things I learn relating to VB.Net 2003 still be applicable to the version of VB in Excel?

Also, will I be able to write applications in VB.Net 2003 and link them to Excel spreadsheets if Excel is still only using an older version of VB?

Apologies if I have all the above wrong! I am not sure how VB works in Excel exactly.

Cheers
-Rob
