Hi Shinya,

What is the major point of developping Office Com Add-ins dll against VBA?

I don't understand the question, really. VBA = Visual Basic for
Applications. This is the language in which the Office applications expose
their automation interfaces. Any programming language that automates an
Office application has to "speak" to the application using its object model,
which means the VBA specific to that application.

COM addins are more secure. A user cannot open a dll addin as they would an
xla addin and view/change code. Also, if making a dll addin with VB/VB.NET
you have the option to create COM addins for multiple office apps with the
same library.
