hi! I have created a pretty simple vb application which prompts my cad techs to enter project data information and writes this data to a txt file. I am having problems getting cad to load and run this application whenever cad is executed. I have attacehd the dvb format. it runs smoothly, just having issues integrating with AutoCAD. Thanks!!

To Autorun a dvb file, you must create a acad.rx
file.  Inside this file (Its an ASCII file) type in acaddvb.arx (This will
load your vbaide.)  Rename your dvb to acad.dvb and the name of your public
subroutine to acadstartup.  Make sure the acad.rx and acad.dvb files are in
your autoCad search path and it should now work automatically.

What I do is create a module and under the sub start event show the form. Then use the following statement to execute the module : (vl-vbarun "Facilities.dvb!Details.Start"). So for my Facilities.dvb project, I have a Module "Details", and the public sub "Start" shows the form.

you can add the line to the acad.mnl file, and that will start it up, or you can drop it into a lisp file and add it to the Startup Suite.
