You have a paid client, but you can't read ? I would suggest that real programmers know their stuff enough to tell a client they are wrong when they ask for something that is stupid. It's hard to know if it's stupid in this case, based on what you said, but it's clear that if it IS a stupid request, you'd have no way of knowing, because you have no idea about VBA, it seems. It also seems you can't follow simple instructions, such as 'please do not post programming questions in the lounge', as you have done, despite being asked not to. Luckily, I expect many VBA books tend to use small words and have pretty pictures.

I'd love to see histograms on the number of syllables in the words of a language vocabulary, for different human languages. Could be quite interesting. :)

I'm not participating in frackin' Q&A, so if you want my opinion, ask away in a real forum (or on my profile page).

What is the application developed in - is this .NET or is it some legacy VB6 app or something? It would probably be better to go with something more .NETty anyway, VBA is kinda dead. I'm not even sure it's possible to incorporate VBA into your own application, it might be limited to just Office. VBS is possible but is pretty outdated.

I know VBA is outdated but this is the only programming language our clients prefer to write code with.And when most of them ask you to do that, it becomes priority. BTW, our application is .netty! Thanks

So what exactly do they want to do? If it's just a matter of extracting data from your datastore to display/play with it in MS Office (pre 2007), then all they need is a few hooks. Ask in the Visual Basic message board, where there will be people who know about this kind of thing. Asking in the Lounge is a bad idea, because it will annoy people who come to the lounge to get away from such questions.

Here in the UK, that's not the case any more. City Status is an honour granted by the monarch on the advice of the Lord Chancellor by letters patent (an open letter, not a charter) normally on special royal occasions. There is no set criteria as in other countries such as the US.
