Creating forms using visual basic programming
I notice that MS Office programs like Powerpoint, ACCESS, and WORD have in their menu's a place to build visual basic. How do you make this work when you build forms? Is the visual basic form you design dependent/independent from the application you made it in (i.e. ACCESS, PPT, WORD, etc).
Let's keep it simple. say I just want to create a user friendly menu screen that I can click on its buttons to open a particular file on my computer much like the same way you do in an html link from the web. Do I need a special software program to create this? Is it an EXE file when I finish or how does the form open? I would like to make this FORM INDEPENDENT from the application/file it will eventually open.
I appreciate any comments you have.

Do you mean vb (ide) or vba (office) ??

You can create them from either with Visual Basic program or with office VBA.
If you need a stand-alone app (like worpad or paint, etc) you need to create it with VB.
If you need a solution that involves Office, you could use VBA from any of Office applications.
Hope it clarify something.

EXACTLY and simply answered my question. Thanks.
I will plan to purchase VB6 or stand-alone visual basic software program which seems to be the most flexible option for creating an idependent userform.
