GetPoint problem

[Anonymous]

Hi.

I have a routine that uses GetPoint to get the start and end points of a
line. It works if I pick points and it works if I enter coordinates on the
command line, but I also have a pulldown menu that does the same thing as
entering coordinates and pressing enter and I am getting an error message.
The pull down menu with coordinates works for all regular commands that
require a point entry, like drawing lines and inserting blocks. Can someone
tell me why getpoints won't accept the pulldown menu entries and if it's
possible to fix it.

The error code is.
run-time error '-2147352567 (90020009)':
Method 'GetPoint" of object 'IAcadUtility'failed.

TIA for any help

S'ok. I discovered that acad is intercepting the pulldown menu pick first
and causing an error.
I found an error handling procedure that should work. I'll try it later.
