I learned a little vb.NET, enough to be dangerous if not useful. I understood the difference between VB, VBScript, and vb.NET, but had only heard VBA within the realm of the this group's subject so wasn't sure what the difference was. You explained it quite well. Is there a list somewhere of atleast the more commonly used parts (and uses) of the object model for Excel?
