vba error -2147418111 ?

[adywren]

Hi,

When batch opening a series of drawings we get error number -2147418111, dwg's seem to open normally when opened manually.

Does anyone know the cause? / or can offer a solution?

Autodesk advise it's a 'timeout error' but when quizzed they don't offer any further explanation or how we resolve it!

This may also be a versioning issue. If you are opening a drawing that was not created in the current version, there can be problems opening the files. The safest way I have found is resaving the drawing info the current version before it is opened.

This is done using objectDBX or resaving the Database if your using .net
