Hi I am required to write some macros for work (that work over many tasks in windows but not only restricted to Excel)

e.g.
1st) open and check online data in program A
2nd) input the obtained data and calculate results in calculator program B
3rd) publish results from B in an excel spreadsheet
etc.

Can anyone who is working in large corporations/companies share what Macro Programming software/language you are using please?

Thank you very much!

Many softwares has built in macro programmings, such as both OpenOffice (don't remember language) and Microsoft Office (Visual Basic for Applications) so if you use of those, for me, the choice would be the one the system already had implemented.

VBS, AutoIT, and many others may do what you need.

You mean people still use macros in excel for processing critical data?! wow.

People still use Access+VBA to write mission critical applications! Real painful when they start growing as a company.
