There's no such thing as a stand alone Excel app.
Stand alone means it doesn't need any other application to run...other than
Windows as it's platform (or some such OS) or web server. To create those,
you need to use something like C++ or VB. VBA *means* Visual Basic for
APPLICATIONS! They NEED a host app to run. So you MUST have SOME PROGRAM to
run the VBA. Sure, you can write it in Word to run Excel or vice versa.
Hell, you can have outlook run Excel. But you can't run Excel VBA code
without Excel.
The dev edition is mostly extra tools and info...for folks who do more dev
work than app work in Office. It also has some run-time stuff to make Access
DBs work more efficiently and other junk I can't even remember. It's mostly
addon stuff.

Dian-
Inquiry for you please: Office XP Developer is on the way. (finally<g>) My
primary interest in the Developer version is writing Access applications,
but will the Developer version allow me to write a stand-alone Excel
application? I don't yet know what you can do in a "Developer Edition" yet.
If the answer is yes, what/where is my best resource for learning this? You
in the Eclectic Academy? If so, I will have to do it next term- I am signed
on for three classes this time around.
Thank you.
Robert
