VisualBasic also known as VB is the brand name Microsoft uses for their BASIC. It has little to do with the simplicity of BASIC but is quite restricted a ProgrammingLanguage compared to others. You shouldn't use it if at all possible.

A variant called VBA, ie "VisualBasic for Applications", is used to script Excel? spreadsheets and Microsoft Word documents. It is often used to write macro viruses. Thanks, Bill!
