How do I get the AcadMap application

[Anonymous]

I am trying to get the code found in the online documentation pertaining to
declaring and accessing the AutocadMap Application object. I was under the
impression that I needed to declare the ACAD application first, but when I
use

set amobj = acadApp.GetInterfaceObject("AutocadMap.Application")

I get a type mismatch error. I am using LDD2, which I believe have the
AutoCAD Map 2000 Release 4 as the base application. How do I initiate the
application so that I can access the projects and attach drawings?

Thanks,
Mike Killion

I had this same question while using Visual Lisp and I overcame it by first
loading the AECCCOGO.ARX application if it was not already loaded. This forced
LDDT 2 to initialize and I was then able to GetInterfaceObject to the
Aecc.Application. With AutoCAD Map, I would probably do the same but I am not
sure how this would have been done from a VBA program. I would be interested to
see the answers from others.
