Licensees of Visual Basic for Applications embed the VBA IDE, the VBA 
language engine, Microsoft Forms, IntelliSense technology productivity 
features and development tools (including a debugger, an object browser 
and a code editor). In addition, ISVs can take advantage of the new 
multithreading capabilities of VBA 6.0, as well as support for digital 
signatures. I don't know the license price but you are starting around 
$10,000 +. I have an old VBA CD but is circa 1997.

Given the IDX CDX files, they are probably using a C-ISAM database 
engine, these databases can go memory resident so they are blazingly fast
They might be using something like CodeBase from Sequiter Software, I 
have used this engine more than 10 years ago via C code.

For VBA info see below or I believe it comes with MSDN
