    VB Express is dotNet. dotNet is a real departure from the way programs and language use to be used. These languages are compiled to a EXE is desired or can be used as script in an ASP web application.

    If you want to play with dotNet for free try Sharp Develop at:

    Who Should Use Visual Basic Express?
    Visual Basic Express Edition is a powerful tool capable of creating fully functional applications and components that can be shared with others. It is not, however, intended for professional developers or for programmers that work in a team environment. Other versions of Visual Basic provide features that meet the advanced needs of professional and team development.

    If you need to write applications that connect to a networked database, interact with Microsoft Office, support mobile devices or 64-bit operating systems, or require remote debugging, you will need a more advanced version of Visual Basic.

    I think that last line is your answer.

    What I would like to do is to make programs that I have written using VB, now running in Excel into stand-alone executables. It looks like VBExpress can do that. Right?

    You may need to do a lot of rewriting because the Excel VBA functions you're using may be a bit different from the VB functions. Also, you're probably relying on some Excel functionality that you'll possibly need to re-create, or go about a different way. But, it should be doable.

    Thanks. Most of the code is really plain old BASIC, with few Excel-specific functions. I will give it a try.
