VBE.ActiveVBProject ??

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Jul 2001 07:31:04 GMT

Hi All,

MDT4, NT4 Sp5
VB 6.0 installed

This works:
MsgBox ThisDrawing.Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.Name

This fails with "Object does not support this property or method"
MsgBox ThisDrawing.Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.BuildFileName

The same statements work on a second machine MDT5/MDT6 A2Ki A2K2 Win2k pro &
VB6.

The "VBE extensibility" is referenced on both machines. I tried both V5.3
and V6.0 on the troublesome machine.

I reinstalled MDT4 and it still fails. I've tried many of the examples
posted in this group to get the loaded projects etc. They all fail on the
MDT4 machine. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

How about reinstalling VB6 rather than MDT.

Cheers,

I haven't tried that. Maybe a "repair installation" will fix the problem.

Do you know if V5.3 is the version A2K/MDT4 expects? The problem machine had
MDT5/A2Ki installed at one time. I'm wondering if that upgraded the
extensibility model to a higher version that MDT4 only partially recognizes.
It appears that only some of the methods/properties are available. It is
obviously connecting with the VBE object model or I wouldn't even be getting
the "project name". I also tried a sample from the VBE help file that
dynamically creates a procedure and that worked. Very strange.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry I was going to check this the other night and forgot. Anyhow I can run both
on MDT also, but the
MsgBox ThisDrawing.Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.BuildFileName
fails in MDT4. Didn't VBA change from a VB5 base to a VB6 base between MDT4 and
MDT6?

It works on MDT5 also

Thanks for the test Kent.

Maybe it isn't my system. I'm also finding that it works with MDT5 & MDT6,
but not with MDT4.

I think you are correct about the switch from "VBA5 to VBA6". Sounds like
that may have something to do with it.
