VBA in a Programming Language

[Meltonjrut]

I am wondering if anyone know a good, efficient way to transfer VBA code into a programming language? In short, I have a long and complex system of VBA code in an Excel macro thatimports data from pdf, moves it in a certain way to put it into a workableformat, does a series of calculations on it, and gives a resulting summary in aspreadsheet. It is sufficiently long and complicated that it makes Excel runslowly, crash, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows a good programming languageand/or application that I could translate this VBA code into in order tostreamline the process and make it run faster. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Depending on what your code does, transferring it to, say, VB.Net is certainly possible, but some significant re-working is likely to be required and, in any event, that's unlikely to resolve your performance issues; if anything the process might run more slowly. As for the crashing, that suggests there are other problems that transferring the code might only exacerbate.
