What is VBA?
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a flavor of Microsoft's Visual Basic that is embedded in the background of most Microsoft
Office applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel, and Access. It is in the same family as Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) and Visual
Basic Script (VBS or VBScript).

What is the advantage of using VBA?
Creating customized solutions from scratch using VB or VB.NET is time consuming and expensive. Building an application on the
basis of an existing Office program greatly decreases the development time and cost by extending the functionality and usability
of a familiar technology.

How can VBA help my business?

Will VBA grow with my business?
Yes, to a point. VBA customizations are most useful for small or medium-sized business. However, most VBA development can easily be
converted into a larger-scale web or desktop application when your company experiences growth.

Why should I contract Ms. VBA for VBA development?
With over five years of extensive Microsoft VBA development experience, Ms. VBA specializes in providing customers with logical,
common-sense solutions. The primary goal of any VBA project is to improve and automate any manual processes in an effort to increase
productivity and reduce cost. It's even possible to integrate non-Office programs for more usability - let Ms. VBA show you how to make
Office do backflips!
Because most software development companies don't have anyone on staff who knows the ins and
outs of Microsoft Office, they may try to pressure you into a more expensive SQL or web-based solution when you really don't
need it.
