   No. VBScript aka VBS.   
      
   VBScript, VBA and VB share a lot of syntax, but are   
   different technically and used for different things.   
      
   VBA is used for embedded scripts in MS Office applications.   
   And it is typed and able to use both COM and Win32 DLL's.   
      
   VBS is used as windows scripting language and as language   
   in ASP classic web pages. It is not typed and can only   
   use COM DLL's (assuming the COM component implements   
   IDispatch).
