question..!!

need/want to do some thing that aren't avail with AFL then you can use a flavor
called VBScript (which I didn't remember to mention but is also a Msft product
and is very similar to VBA).

You
failed to mention why you were asking and I went off on a
tangent.

other words you can't write Windows type forms. It also has not been
improved in quite a long time.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>RealBasic (<A
href="">http://www.realbasic.com/) is a flavor
develped by Real Software is a multiplatform (Mac, Windows) flavor that
originally had no ability to build windows style forms and was (back around
1997) used primarily for writing very fast dll's. It had the ability to
produce compiled code while Msft's Visual Basic at that time (Version 3) was
very slow and used only interpreted code. I just visited their site
and discovered that they have added forms capability. The fact that
Its Mac and Windows capable is nice althought I don't have any experience
with it to remark on its realiability, etc.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Visual Basic (<A
href="">http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/) is
the 800 lb gorilla of the Basics. Its Msft's flavor and has evolved over the
years to be the hands down favorite of all the varieties of basic.
With well over 1 million copies having been sold it is considered as the
"standard". VB (as it is commonly referred to) comes in several different
configurations and each is targeted at a particular type of developer.
The lower cost versions are targeted at developers of stand-alone apps while
the higher end products are targeted towards the corporate type developer
that write client/server apps, web based apps, etc. The current
release VB.Net is a re-write of the language and represents a sea-change in
the language.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>The above basic (VB) is a stand alone product. Msft decided several
years ago to make a version of basic that they used to provide programming
capability to its Office products (Word, Excel, etc). This version is called
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). VB (prior to the .Net version) and
VBA are very, very similar and if you know one you should be able to
navigate the other easily.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Does it make a difference? Yes. It really depends on what you
would to accomplish as to which one you might use. Having said that it
is highly likely that VB or VBA would be the likely choice if you want to
write apps that run only in the Windows environment. If you'd
like to discuss this further lets take it off this
board.
