Visual Basic for Applications

programming (VBA) Microsoft's common language for

manipulating components of its Microsoft Office suite. It

is used as the macro language for these applications and is

the primary means of customising and extending them. A VBA

program operates on objects representing the application and

the entities it manipulates, e.g. a spreadsheet or a range

of cells in Microsoft Excel.
