Cependant, il faut noter qu'il est nécessaire de choisi une application hôte pour un projet VBA. Ainsi : Le programme sera plus performant et plus simple à développer si l'application hôte est celle dans laquelle s'exécute l'essentiel des instructions du programme. La présence du programme dans l'application hôte doit être logique et l'utilisateur final doit y avoir un accès facile puisque le programme ne pourra être exécuté qu'à partir de celle-ci. 2, record 6, French, - application%20h%C3%B4te
