True,
you can use VB6 to invoke Excel components to create Excel documents,
or you can use VBA (inside Excel) to create Excel documents. VB6
and VBA are the same language, just a different scope (default objects).
You can take VBA code right out of Excel and paste it into VB6. Once
you add references and fully qualify the object references, the code
basically behaves the same.

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is a subset of VB available in the
Office applications, used to create macros and modules.
There were also, if I recall correctly, components made available from
the office apps that you could use to create office documents
programatically.
