.BAS to .EXE

.BAS to .EXE

(OP)
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,

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.

RE: .BAS to .EXE

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.
