It's another VB offshoot. It's used mostly for macros and scripting in
applications. Other companies often license VBA for use in their own
applications for these purposes. I know that Corel licensed it for use in
their products such as CorelDraw 12. I believe AutoDesk licensed it at one
point as well but I may be mistaken. It is definitely not VB.Net. I'm not
sure exactly what version of VB it is most akin to, but when I toyed with it
it seemed very much like an in-between VBScript and VB.
Hope this helps,
