Hi,

 

To my knowledge VBA is for control and data transfere between applications. You would use VBA to say read data from an excel .xls file into Access, or ACAD.

 

AutoLISP is for control of AutoCAD. You can make calls to VBA in AutoLISP, but I don't think it works the other way around. I could be wrong though, I haven't tried it.

 

Have a good one.
