I see this is a truly old post. None the less Since the Feedbacker (whatever that is) has decided to raise this zombie of a post I thought I may as well add some insight.

Are you talking about Microsoft Visual Basic ? Do you mean that you want to run a microsoft thing on a Linux machine ?
No he was talking about Visual Basic for Applications. It is close but not quite VB. Features put in with VBA will only function in Office. VBA is not a fully compiled language like C++ or even VB. Nor is ti a scripted language like HTML or JavaScript. Instead it is compiled on load. So when a document with VBA coding is opened it is at that point that the VBA is compiled. Thus the only application that will use the VBA coding is the only one that can compile the code in question MS Office.
Access works slightly differently.
