One minor correction which is there is no such thing as VBA.Net.

There are basically three VB ecosystems.

Visual Basic which many refer to as VB6 and it represents the last version every released.

VBA which is Visual Basic for Application and lives on to this day as an embedded language for Microsoft products like, Word, Excel, Outlook etc.

VB.Net which is an implementation of the Visual Basic language running on the .Net Framework.

There was also VBScript, one of the two active scripting engines shipped with Windows and available from IE and WSH.
