Code development for mac osx

[Seraya]

Hi,

I posted a question about vba on the vb.net forum but have realised maybe it should be here instead. I'm using Mac OSX and would like to extend the Microsoft Office programs for my clients who use PC's. Since I'm on a Mac is it still possible for me to both learn VBA and develop for PC's? Will I need a PC-specific piece of software to do this?

Also, can someone explain to me the difference between Visual Basic, VBA and VB.net. I thought that VB.net was the latest version of Visual Basic 6.0, but then is VBA something different again?

Thanks for any help offered.

VBA is the Office version of Visual Basic. It is different from the standalone version of Visual Basic 6.0. The newest version of Visual Basic (7.0) is the Net, which is more different from any other version than ever before.

As for what will run on both Mac and Windows machines, I'm not sure if it involves VBA, which they have in both versions. I don't have any samples available that I could send you, except for one that uses a .dll, which i don't think would work.

I do know that TrueBasic programs can be used on both Mac and PC operating systems.

Thanks for that,

I've decided to go with VBA and have found a good book on the subject.
