  Not sure what you mean by 'hacking'. Go to Tools-->Macro-->Visual BASIC editor. Have a blast.

  I wasn't clear in what I meant. My Bad.
  
  I know how to get into and see the VBA scripting. What I meant was can I write Pbasic in VBA and have VBA run a Stamp. I don't mean getting returns of zero's or ones, I mean getting returns of sensor readings and changing motor or servo commands.

  The Stamp is programmed in PBasic. You can write a program in PBasic that will run on the Stamp that will interpret commands that it receives and acts accordingly...typically through using SERIN. Depending on how you design the program in the Stamp, you can take sensor readings, manipulate them and communicate them, typically through SEROUT,·to a "waiting" VBA program. Except for using VBA and PBasic at either end of a "messaging network", there is no "connection" between the two systems/languages.
  
  If you are thinking of re-programming your Stamp using VBA, that way lies madness...

  With the recently released PLX-DAQ, thich allows you to read/write any cell on the spreadsheet, you may find your ability to make a Excel based GUI for your BASIC Stamp easier. It also has 4 checkboxes which can be labeled/read/set.
