What it does

Core purpose

Archived copy of vbAccelerator site (articles, source code, etc.) that disappeared in 2015, reappeared in 2018, and anyone's guess what's going to next… Primarily VB6, but useful VBA resource.

Where it sits

vbAccelerator Archive belongs to the VB6 / VBScript family of VBA community tools. It is listed on the community-maintained awesome-vba index and is actively used by Microsoft Office automation developers.

How to get it

Source location

Full source, documentation, and release notes are maintained at github.com. Treat that URL as the canonical reference — bugs and feature requests live there.

Installation pattern

For a typical GitHub-hosted VBA library: download the .bas, .cls, or .frm files from the repository, then in the VBA editor (Alt + F11) use File → Import File… to bring each module into your project. Save the host document as .xlsm, .accdb, or .docm so macros are retained.

When to use it

Best fit

Reach for vbAccelerator Archive when your automation needs VB6 / VBScript capability and you want a peer-reviewed library rather than rolling your own. The awesome-vba curator reviews inclusions for active maintenance and community support.

Alternatives worth evaluating

Before committing to vbAccelerator Archive, browse the other entries in the same VB6 / VBScript section of our tools directory — several libraries typically overlap in purpose, and the right pick depends on your Office version, 32- vs 64-bit target, and licensing needs.
