Source Code from the dvb file I wrote 3 years ago

[Anonymous]

Please help...

I wrote a VBA .dvb plug in for AutoDesk Map 3d 2007-2010 a few years back.  I no longer have the laptop or AutoDesk/AutoCAD, so I am unable to open the dvb file.

I need my source code because I'm re-writing some similar routines for another program.  The source code would save me a few days worth of work.

The dvb was password protected, and I have the password.  I would be willing to e-mail the file.  Then hopefully, someone can open it for me, copy/paste the source code to a text file, and send it back to me.  Also, I could use a few screen captures of the form.  The form had 3 tabs on it, if I remember correctly.

We are no longer using the plug-in, and no one here has any copies of Autodesk or Autocad.  Further, I cannot even find any 2010 versions available on-line for purchase.  Still, I'd hate to spend thousands of $$$$ just to get back the source code that I wrote 3 to 6 years ago.

Of course, the code is proprietary, so I would have to trust someone that they would throw it away once converted to text...

If I was smart back then, I would've copied the source code to a text file...just in case!

Hi,

you can download >>>AutoCAD 2014 trial<<<, then download and install >>>VBA-enabler<<< and so you can open the DVB by yourself without buying anything.

Thank you very much for the reply.

I went ahead and downloaded Autodesk 2014 and the installed the VBA for 64 bit etc..., as per your links.

After fully installing everything, which went okay, I finally got into the Autodesk Visual Basic editor.  However, when I used the Import routine, it would not open the .dvb file.  This is what I was afraid of.

Question is, do I need to have a working version of 2010 to open my file?  It would seem that I can't open it in the 2014 version...
