Make sure you have the Visual Lisp Environment loaded
(vl-load-com)

To load and run the vba:

example:
;... load project acad.dvb using vl-vbaload
(vl-vbaload "c:/acsup/acad2000/acad.dvb")

;run module or macro defined in acad.dvb
(vl-vbarun "NetSetup")

Tom, I have not tried this on an embeded project but this is what I do. In my Acad2000.lsp file I add this
(defun c:your_cmd ()
(command "-vbarun" "your_macro") (princ))
Once autocad is started just type what you named your command, should work. I have to make sure my macro is loaded but you shouldn't cause it is embeded.

Since you have your project embedded in a drawing, the project is loaded
when the drawing is opened. At the command line type,

-vbarun
module1.startprog

"module1" is a standard module that has your startup subroutine called
"startprog". You can change these names to what you want.

in module1

sub startprog()
form1.show 'this will show your form
end sub

you can also set up a custom tool but and add the following to the button to
start the program.

-VBARUN module1.startprog

hope this helps you out,

I've had some probs running macros from acad2000.lsp with the vbarun
command. They are un-predictable, occur randomly, and seem to be related
to -vbarun itself. Upon suggestion I'm using vbastmt instead and it seems to
work (for whatever reason!). Just thought I'd mention it.
