how to turn off prompt "Save changes to *****.ivb?" from VBA

[liminma8458]

hi,

I have some add-ins from VB.NET and they have NO association with VBA in Inventor. But everytime after I run the add-ins and before I close Inventor, a prompt "Save changes to *****.ivb?" shows up, indicating I may change something in VBA code. A sample prompt is included in attached file.

My question is why this prompt shows up and how to silent it or turn it off automatically with API or whatever method?

Thanks

Limin

Hi

to confirm if your vb.net is in fact, updating the ivb you could rename or copy / move the ivb to a different location then run the addin again. If the addin looks for the ivb, then you will know that it is changing something because it wont find and it will throw an error

Cheers

Thanks Nacho!

Although I have not try the way you recommended yet, I believe it will be very practical.

I just got a way to work out the problem. In the dialog of choosing Default VBA project in Application Options, as shown below, check the box "Check as read-only", the "Save..." prompt will not show up after I run my VB.NET program.

Thank you for this message. I have tried this and on some of the machines it works and others it does not. Anyone else know what may be causing this? Or alternative solutions to eliminate the annoying message?
