TLB files, compatibilty among versions

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

not to tie a VB program to a specific version of AutoCAD, I prefer to write

Set objACAD = CreateObject("AutoCad.Application")

and to add a reference to a .TLB that can be used by more than one version.
I know that any singular .TLB file can't be used with all of the 2000+
versions.

Is there a table somewhere, indicating the TLB compatibilities among
versions ? I already know that the 2000i TLB is compatible with 2002. I was
wondering about 2004, 2005 and 2206. I know that the 2005 TLB will work with
the 2004. In fact, if you install AutoCAD 2004 and then 2005, the 2005 TLB
replaces the 2004 TLB. How about 2006 ? Is is Autodesk policy to change the
TLB file name when a new version of AutoCAD is incompatible with previous
ones.

Thanks

2000, 2000i, and 2002 all use the same tlb.

2004

2005 not independently verifible There are new objects in this version

2006 not independently verifible. There are new objects in this version

Thanks Joe.

The TLB file for 2204, 2205 and 2006 is the same name. Looks like if I do
not use the new objects from 2005 and 2006, I will be able to have a new
version of my VB program compatible with 2004, 2005 and 2006.
