Don't know about anything as broken as VB/VBA for Linux, did you
try a search on freshmeat.net?
Falling that, there are tons of compiler/interpreter languages
available, most come with any decent distro. After all, it's kind
of personal preference and what you want to achieve.

Don't know too much about VB, so YMMV.

Plenty of choice there. I suggest that you start with Python. It's
probably already installed on your machine. Every major distribution
includes it.

The language that gets most commonly billed with this sort of thing is
the Python scripting language.
It has a quite simple and sparse syntax, unlike, say, Perl, and there
are quite a lot of libraries to support building graphical
applications.

To CB: You have to understand that what VB is not really a programming
language (it *can* be a programming language, but the sense in which the OP
means it, it isn't). Rather, it what they call a "Rapid Development
System" - where you can get a database app going quickly w/o writing a line
of code, just by dragging some forms around and clicking some buttons.

still free (anything produced with it must be GPL) and there are
commercial versions.
Language is either C++ or Delphi (object Pascal). Pascal is close enough
to a decent Basic, just remember the punctuation.
Environment is drag and drop, code where necessary, though even simple
database work can be done without code.

I suppose I neglected to say "not that there is anything wrong with that"
(being a YAUSL) in my post.
I haven't. It would be good news for the OP if it was indeed an RDS.

Hi,
Is there a similar programming language in Linux works similarly like MS
Visual Basic? I need a easy/friendly user interface programming language.
Thanks.

"Visual Basic" (VB) isn't a programming language; it's a product
consisting of a compiler, IDE, and other stuff. "Visual Basic for
Applications" (VBA) is the language.
VB6, for all its quirks, was remarkably useful FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.
I'm not especially sorry I don't use it any more.

few lookup tables for menus and a couple of basic filter-by-examples,
the sort of thing you can knock up with Access in ten minutes. Why would
you need code at this level? The most you might need is a simple SQL
statement or two, but the RADs usually have GUI SQL generators for the
more common types of query.
Many controls in Delphi/C++/J++ Builder have additional 'data-aware'
versions which can be hooked together to make this kind of simple
codeless database application.

Check into Xbasic.
It runs on Windows and Linux. Source code compatible.
Has functionality similar to visual basic. Free is a very good price.
