New duplicate objects found in Object browser - typ: AcadMtext and IAcadMtext2

[Anonymous]

Prompted by Robert Bell (thanks): I never thought to scroll beyound AcadMtext in the objectbrower to the bottom where you find IAcadMtext2. There are some other IAcad.... objects, like IAcadBlock2 which allows you to add a table object. So it appears that VBA uses the intellisense from the first object it finds and not the "I" version. That's a new twist. - Ted "R. Robert Bell" wrote in message news:41642401_1@newsprd01... > Use the object browser on that interface class.
