VBA Language Extensions

 

Visual Basic Assembly (VBA) Language Extensions are comprised of other categories of functions which are used to manage more aspects of how an application looks or behaves. For example, a VBA Language Extension could be used to “Call the Form” of a specific application, or control a client device data display, manipulate database records, communicate with other databases, control stored procedures, communicate with attached or Windows-based printers and much more.

Some extensions work with the majority of prompts (also called “controls”) while others will only work with specific types of prompts.
