Selling a VBA program

[Ezguy4u]

I have a question that isn’t directly associated with excel, but maybe somebody has experience with this and can give me some guidance. Question; what if I come up with a vba program attached to my excel workbook/worksheet, and I believe it might have some commercial value. The vba program performs some kind of function, that somebody in a commercial sector would pay money to own. So my other questions are;

• I would like to sell this program to people who do not have access to an excel spreadsheet.
• I would like to have a stand-alone software that does the same thing the excel vba program.
• Is there a web site that would translate a vba program into a stand-alone program?

And lastly, does python, C++ or java give me a clue to my question? Thank you for your time.

Another option is (potentially) TwinBasic - though it is still in Beta, it claims to be 100% compatible with existing VBA and VB6 projects. Ostensibly, it will be able to generate stand alone executables, but I'm not in a position to say whether or not that is appropriate/available for your project. Again, it is still in Beta, so it is an open question as to whether or not it will be able to do all that it claims, but they have made the beta downloadable for people to try.

great, I’m just looking for a tool for migrating vb6. I've heard good reviews about this, but I'll try to say it

Wow, I wrote that over two years ago. TwinBasic has come lightyears since then. I would still strongly recommend it.
