Run VBA outside of Office applications

Hi all,

I am not sure if this the right group for my research question. If not I'd appreciate if the some one can guide me to the right forum.

I am extracting the VBA code from the VB Project in an Excel file. Now I need to be able to run the VBA macros outside of Excel without using Microsoft Office's VBA builder.

Are there any solutions to implement this or has any one tried to run VBA code outside of Excel without using Office components?

I'd really appreciate any help or direction.

Thanks

You can't compile vba outside of microsoft excel (as far as I know). However, you can compile vb or vbscript outside of microsoft excel, for example, as a .exe - depends on what your code looks like as to how easy it is to transfer from vba to vb/vbs

Has anyone tried to convert VBA code to some other language like javascript or VBScript and use it outside of Office applications. Assuming the VBA code has no reference to any of the Office components and simply has a Hello World Message Box.
