Line 36:
When Visual Basic was released in 1991, it seemed logical to use Visual Basic as the universal programming language for Windows applications. Until that time, each Microsoft application had its own macro language or automation technique, and the tools were largely incompatible. The first Microsoft application to debut VBA was Microsoft Excel 5.0 in 1993, based on Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0. This spurred the development of numerous custom business applications, and the decision was made to release VBA in a range of products.
Users learned about the changes through user groups, books, and magazines. Early books that introduced VBA include Reed Jacobsen's ''Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Windows 95 Step by Step'' (Microsoft Press, 1995) and [[Michael Halvorson]] and Chris Kinata's ''Microsoft Word 97 Visual Basic Step by Step'' (Microsoft Press, 1997).
