title: Can VBA Code Be Run Outside of MS Applications?
body: <p>I just started to learn VBA. As far as I understood, one uses VBA to write macros in MS-Excel. But I wonder if it the only area of application for VBA. Can it be also used like many other standard languages - like Python, for example. </p>
  
  <p>If it is the case, how can I compile a VBA program? Should it be compiled? How can I run such a VBA program?</p>
