VBA editor 'Imports'

Anonymous — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 18:42:38 GMT

I'm trying to import regular expressions into the local VBA project for a drawing document.

Putting the `Imports` statement ahead of the only `Sub` gives the following error:

This works in the rule editor, but not here.

Does anyone know what might be wrong or have any recommendations for what to try?

Thanks

Imports are not used in VBA!
Use add reference in the options!

I knew I had to be missing something!

But is this where I add it?

I've tried calling `System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch()`, but it throws this error, that `.Text` isn't defined:

I checked in that directory, and I have a System.Text.RegularExpressions.dll, but it says I can't add it as a reference..!

I don't think so. I've been using regular expressions for almost 10 years. I just need to import the library, and that mentions it glancingly, and then moves on.
