Problem running VBA macro from acad2009.lsp and acad2009doc.lsp

[btmsoftware]

Hi there,

The following works fine from Acad 2004 up to 2008 but not in 2009

I have a DVB file with a few modules/macros.

In my acad200*.lsp,
I set the following:
(defun-q S::STARTUP()
(command "_vbarun" "C:\\Temp\\Project.dvb!Module1.Main")
)

If I start AutoCAD 2009 using the Desktop/Start Menu Icon. No problem, it loads and runs

If in Windows explorer, I double-click on a DWG file, AutoCAD launches but when it basically gets stuck at:

Regenerating model.
AutoCAD menu utilities loaded._vbarun

I then need to hit the ESC key a couple of time to getthe hand but then, my macro doesn't run.

I tried to put my startup in acad2009doc.lsp insted of acad2009.lsp but it does the same.

Anybody has seen/resolved that ?

TIA

FYI,

Seems to work fine with some of the samples delivered with Acad and not with
some other. Don't know why though

Check the properties of the your AutoCAD Desktop Icon. IIRC it is set to
"Launcher". Change it to start acad.exe - as in
..\Program Files\AutoCAD Map 3D 2008\acad.exe

Actually, the problem is not with the icon it is when double-clicking on a
DWG file in Windows Explorer.

I found out that it doesn't happen on all files so I guess I'll have to find
out why this happens on some and not others. We'll see

Right - my mistake. Launcher is assigned in file associations - not the
icon.
