Maybe I'm not addressing your question but, This works for me to turn
SDI on and off through VB code. I haven't written much code in VBA but
this may be adapted from VB to VBA.
Dim MMode As Integer
MMode = acaddoc.GetVariable("SDI") 'this turns SDI off
If MMode = 1 Then
acaddoc.SetVariable "SDI", 0
End If
Dim MMode As Integer
MMode = acaddoc.GetVariable("SDI") 'this turns on the SDI
If MMode = 0 Then
acaddoc.SetVariable "SDI", 1
End If
