This was actually a question.

Is there a way to read  / see VB cource code  using Excel VBA?

I have seen code on the net, but it was VB and when I downloaded  it,
there was nothing I could see that looked like VB source  code, so I
couldn't use it or look to see if it met my needs...

What were the file extensions (you know, like .vb, .cls, .frm, etc.)?
Any chance you can cut and paste it? It all depends on how it was
downloaded and what files there were.
VB projects contain many files, unlike a single Excel file for VBA.
.VB, .CLS and .FRM files are the ones that mostly contain code, and they
correspond roughly to code  Modules, Class Modules, and UserForms.

Unless VB has changed (not counting .NET) you can save VB code  as a .bas
file that will open in Office apps. It may not all work, due to using calls
to methods that are not available, but you should be able to open/view it
enough to modify for your app's object model and VBA changes.
