This article demonstrates how to add, access, and remove VBA macros using **Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**.

Install the package as described in [Installation](/slides/python-java/installation/). Each example imports `asposeslides` before starting the JVM, then imports the API after the JVM is running.

## **Add a VBA Macro**

Create a presentation with a VBA project and a simple macro module.

```python
import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VbaProject

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.setVbaProject(VbaProject())

    module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().addEmptyModule("Module")
    module.setSourceCode('Sub Test()\n MsgBox "Hi" \nEnd Sub')
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## **Access a VBA Macro**

Retrieve the first module from the VBA project.

```python
import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VbaProject

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.setVbaProject(VbaProject())

    module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().addEmptyModule("Module")
    module.setSourceCode('Sub Test()\n MsgBox "Hi" \nEnd Sub')

    first_module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().get_Item(0)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## **Remove a VBA Macro**

Delete a module from the VBA project.

```python
import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation, VbaProject

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.setVbaProject(VbaProject())

    module = presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().addEmptyModule("Module")
    module.setSourceCode('Sub Test()\n MsgBox "Hi" \nEnd Sub')

    presentation.getVbaProject().getModules().remove(module)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```
