Overflow Error - AutoCAD 2011 VBA

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:19:25 GMT

I am currently running into Overflow errors (Run-time error ‘6’) on my VBA functions (AutoCAD 2011). I’m wondering if anyone else is having similar issues. Here are steps on how to re-produce the error:

- Create a new VBA project
- Insert a new form (Userform1) with a single command button (CommandButton1)
- Copy the following code into Userform1

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim d As Double
d = 1
End Sub

- Copy the following code into a new module (Module1):

Sub test()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

- Now run “test” to show the form
- Clicking on the button results in "Run-time error '6': Overflow". (You may have to run “test” a couple of times to trigger the error.)

I am not really sure what is going on. Appreciate it if someone is willing to enlighten me if I'm missing anything.

Thanks,
Allen

It looks like Autodesk's budget for extending VBA support to 2011 wasn't very
large.

Tony, were you able to confirm this bug on your installation?

Additional Note: We are on a multi-monitor set up and it seems like this bug is triggered only when the VBA IDE and/or the Userform is displayed on the other monitor (separate from the main AutoCAD window).

No, but it make sense because they're resorting to some
very ugly kludges to make the VBA IDE act like a window
that belongs to the AutoCAD process.
