Having been in a similar, but not the same, situation, I resorted to an HTML file with some JavaScript code in a script tag. Was IE locked from running, even though the machine was air gapped? Or did you find VBA more convenient that JavaScript?
- gonzo41 3y agoI've done this too. with modern browsers you can do a lot with JS and HTML5 without much of a backend.

At least partly it was due to being in an environment where other people I worked with were already using VBA. They suggested VBA for the task, and they were able to help me get up to speed with it fairly quickly. And at that point in time I was still young enough to be open to trying new things just for the sake of it, my own opinions were not fully encrusted yet :) I did dabble in javascript for a simple webapp for one small project, but that was kind of a tangent to what we usually worked on.
