I have an inventory spreadsheet that is excel based and written in with VBA that want to make a standalone executable. The spreadsheet uses userforms for input and then transfers the input data to a diaphragm/floor plan, indicating what is in what room. I would like suggestions on what language to write the program in. Thanks

Well if you are very familiar with VBA, why not download Microsoft's free Visual Studio Community Edition and try learning VB.NET? You can also find that it will interface with Excel easily if that's needed. You also have the option of learning C# which VS supports.
