It depends what you're doing this for and what you're doing with it. If
you're happy with VBA and wish to expand in that direction, Visual Basic is
probably a fine choice. (I haven't used it since 1.0, so I can't really say

different things, I'd suggest looking at Python, Perl, or Java. I like all
of those languages, for different reasons. And, they'll all work on MS
Windows but also on many other platforms as well.
