.BAS to .EXE

[Naffoussi]

Hi All,

I want to convert a macro.bas compiled with Visual Basic for Applications into .exe file.
Anyone know how to do this? and how to reference some external program like Excel...

Thanks in advance,

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

Hi IRstuff,

Thanks for the quick answer. I've already done a web search and found some online compiler and some free downloadable like JustBasic, FreeBasic.

But I think the DoneEx is more easy to use. I will try it this WE.

I hadn't heard of DoneEx, but from a very quick review I'm impressed.

It compiled a worksheet with some fairly complex UDFs quickly and easily, and they seemed to work as intended. It even compiled some functions linking to Python, through ExcelPython, which I really didn't expect to work.

The evaluation version does not let you protect or hide the VBA code, so I can't say how well that works.

The only down-side is that the created exe files are much bigger than the originals, but for a compiler working without a special run-time package, I think that's probably inevitable.

It will be interesting to see how performance compares with the original un-compiled VBA.
