* Office 2010 includes VBA 7.0. There are no new features in VBA 7 for developers compared to VBA 6.5 except for 64-bit support. However, after VBA 6.5/Office 2007, Microsoft stopped licensing VBA for other applications.
* Office 2013, Office 2016, Office 2019 and Office 2021 include VBA 7.1.

As of July 1, 2007, Microsoft no longer offers VBA distribution licenses to new customers. Microsoft intended to add .NET-based languages to the current version of VBA ever since the release of the [[.NET Framework]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.thinktecture.com/cnagel/archive/2005/09/14/414225.aspx|title=Visual Studio for Applications|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217064436/http://blogs.thinktecture.com/cnagel/archive/2005/09/14/414225.aspx|archive-date=2007-12-17}}</ref> of which versions 1.0 and 1.1 included a scripting runtime technology named ''Script for the .NET Framework''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974548.aspx|title=Introducing Visual Studio for Applications|website=msdn.microsoft.com}}</ref> Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003 SDK contained a separate scripting IDE called ''Visual Studio for Applications'' (VSA) that supported VB.NET.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974577.aspx|title=Script Happens .NET|website=msdn.microsoft.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://redmondmag.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsID=126|title=Microsoft Takes Wraps Off VSA Development Technology|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217062427/http://redmondmag.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsID=126|archive-date=2007-12-17}}</ref><ref name="VSA">{{cite web|url=http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/vsascripting.asp|title=VSA scripting in .NET|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070211180713/http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/VsaScripting.asp|archive-date=2007-02-11}}</ref> One of its significant features was that the interfaces to the technology were available via [[Active Scripting]] ([[VBScript]] and [[JScript]]), allowing even .NET-unaware applications to be scripted via .NET languages. However, VSA was deprecated in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework,<ref name="VSA" /> leaving no clear upgrade path for applications desiring Active Scripting support (although "scripts" can be created in [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[VBScript]], and other .NET languages, which can be [[compiler|compiled]] and executed at run-time via [[library (computing)|libraries]] installed as part of the standard .NET runtime).
