| Hi, I am reading the book by Steven Roman:"Access Database : Design and Programming" 3rd edition.On page 120, Figure 7-2, he showed the the structure of the Jet Database Engine, which is very confusing to me.According to this picture, I come to such an understanding:1) VBA is just the hosting language for the Jet Database Engine;2) Microsoft Visual Basic, Excel, Access, Word are hosting languages for VBA.Isn't this weird? VB hosts VBA?Thanks for any input! |

| VBA is Visual Basic for Applications. I pulled this off the web:Definition of: VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) A subset of Visual Basic that provides a common language for customizing Microsoft applications. VBA supports COM, which allows a VBA script to invoke internal functions within Excel, Word and other COM-based programs or to make use of stand-alone, external COM objects. VBA evolved into a common language to consolidate earlier macro and scripting languages. Since 1996, VBA has been licensed to third parties for use in non-Microsoft applications within the Windows environment. Microsoft encourages Windows developers to put VBA support in their software.[Signature]For fast help, follow this link:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/brettk/archive/2005/05/25.aspxLearn SQLhttp://www.sql-tutorial.net/ http://www.firstsql.com/tutor.htm http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp |
