I use MS Project Professional 2013, and I need to find a tool for code management for VBA. I would like this tool to be able to import and export code from/to MSP and the ability to integration with TFS. Can you recommend something to me?
I was trying to do the same thing, but in the end it's easier to just migrate to full VB.net and build your code as an add-in using the full power of Visual Studio. You get complete dev and test tools, plus integration with TFS, and a much better IDE to work with. The learning curve for the VB stuff is minimal (same language syntax, same Project Object Model), but there is a little getting used to Visual Studio.
There are some (rather complicated) solutions out there, but if you are ready for managed code you may as well take the leap.

I use a software called RentalDesk NX that is built on top of Nexus DB. According to the help manual for Report Designer, I need to code in Object Pascal, but none of the functions I can find referenced online (such as RightStr, StrToDate, or YearOf) seem to work at all.
I've been working on a report for my accounting department and cannot find a good way to do date math. Does anyone have any insight as to what resource may actually be helpful to me?
I have already crossposted to the RentalDesk NX user community.
The RentalDesk NX report engine is based on digital metaphors' report engine see https://www.digital-metaphors.com/
The developers guide may help RBDeveloperGuide.zip or the learning Report Builder part of the web site https://www.digital-metaphors.com/download/learning_reportbuilder.html
As for the actual flavour of object pascal, I believe that it's based on remote objects Pascal script - but the best place to ask is probably the digital metaphors' news group news.digital-metaphors.com.
I don't know if you have a support contract for your copy of RentalDesk NX, but that would be IMHO the quickest route to specific questions e.g RightStr doesn't exist in Pascal script, you use Copy(string, start, end);

I want to replace the Caché Studio, because it needs to be ran on Windows. Browser based IDE would be most convenient solution for using OS indepedently and mobile.
Is there any browser based IDE for use with InterSystems Caché database?...
...Or, is there a way to export Caché class as readable source code like in Studio? I know there's a way to export classes as XML. But that's not the actual source code.
1) I have not come across any browser-based IDE for use with Cache.
2) Yes - we have just released EnsPlus, a commercial Visual Studio extension which allows you to work with ObjectScript code on the file system.
It allows you to export the classes from Cache and work with them as normal files on the file system. However, this is for Windows-based systems only so I am not sure if it meets your needs.
There isn't a browser-based IDE available for Caché programming. In fact, the only alternative to Caché Studio is George James Software's Serenji debugger/editor.
The XML is the actual source code.
Unfortunately, there is no other option besides Studio, but Intersystems is certainly working on one.

I was wondering if there were any free ribbon controls for vb.net, and if there are not, how I could go about making my own. I don't want to pay $300 or more for a professional one...and I would really like to add one to my project.
What would be the best solution for finding/making one?
Here is my google search I tried, I could only find one for c#...
If possible, I would like one which is the closest to the one used in Office 2007.
Here is one that takes a bit of converting, but it works well in visual basic.

old - Here is a basic one for Windows forms. (c#, but I am sure I got this working in a vb project :S)

Here's a two free one's I've found:

is there any tool that can produce me simple application something like access
but without the need for access or open office to be installed
some thing that will save the data in real stand alone executable file with embedded simple db for non programmers.
I believe Filemaker does what you want. It's not free, however you could always download the trial and see if it fits.
If you are familiar with Access, you should look into compiling it into a standalone app using the Access runtime. Here's a thread on it.
Bear in mind that non-programmers will be quite limited in what they'll be able to accomplish, so calling this "rapid application development" is probably way overstating things.

I am interested in moving a number of my projects from Visual Studio and Access/Office Basic with a SQL back-end to the Linux world.
Are there any utilities available to move code over to a similar platform on Linux?
Here's a link to the Mono Migration Analyzer to get started. It will help you pinpoint Microsoft specific calls, but you'll probably have to do the db conversion and data access layer manually. You may be surprised - mono does have a System.Data.SqlClient namespace so you may not have much work to do.
OpenOffice has a Basic interpreter which is largely compatible with VBA. This may help you with your Access applications. The OpenOffice versions should run on both Windows and Linux.
There are some flavours of OpenOffice that include native support for VBA. The version included with Ubuntu is one example, and the Novell version for Windows is another. For more details and a list of versions with this feature, see this article on linux.com.
They don't support all features of VBA, but they will reduce your conversion effort.
