Select and Change AutoCAD Profile via VBA

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the current profile setting via
VBA while in AutoCAD 2002?

Basically, I have several profiles utilized for different purposes. I would
like the operator on startup to select the profile needed for that session.
Also, the ability to easily change profiles without going to
Tools>Options... Profiles or having several desktop icons with the different
profile switches set.

I am able to read all the profiles available from the registry, and place
them in a list box, however simply writing a selected profile as new value
to the Profiles (Default) registry key does not affect the current session.
The profile selected and written to the registry however is the default the
next time AutoCAD is started.

Any ideas how this can be achieved????

Thanks.

This statement returns a variant array of string values containing a list of
the available profiles on the system:
Call
ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles.GetAllProfileNames(myprofilenam
es)

This statement can set the active profile (where i is the array index):
ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles.ActiveProfile =
myprofilenames(i)
