VBA and Visual Basic 6.0 on AutoCAD2014

Anonymous — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 10:14:30 GMT

Hi,

I have an application developed in VBA with a DLL library (developed in Visual Basic 6.0) as a reference in my VBA project . My applicaction works properly on AutoCAD 2012 64bits, but over AutoCAD 2014 it doesn't work.

See below some errors shown:

- You cannot load an object because it is not available on this computer.

- ActiveX component cannot create object.

But the project references are loaded correctatly. (as you can see in the image below).

Regards,

Jaime

Prior to Acad2014, regardless AutoCAD itself being 32 or 64-bit, its VBA is always 32-bit. Since Acad2014, its VBA is 64-bit, if AutoCAD itself is 64-bit.

Because your VB6 DLL is 32 bit, it cannot be used with 64-bit VBA coming with your Acad2014, even it is available in the "References" dialog box (other 32-bit COM libraries also listed there).
