Stop DVB from automatically loading

[S7RM7RPR]

Ironically compared to other DVB posts, I have a DVB file that is automatically loading on startup and I can't figure out why. I've since had to move the DVB file so now obviously I get presented with an error every time I start AutoCAD.

The acad2018.lsp and acad2018doc.lsp do not have any startup commands nor have any reference whatsoever to the DVB file.

Whats is with files from APPLOAD startup suite?
MNL files of your loaded cuixs?
And for the Autoloader i need to look where you can find them (i am away from acad now)

Three thinks you not wrote about..
Or
Start with a NEW profil, check tge issue.
No problem? Load one by one of your files and check again after each one and you will find who try to load this file.

Also possible: Use a simple file explorer and search in your folders for files with this dvb filename(turn CONTENT search optuon on!).
And do the same inside the registry for the autoloader modules.

When I unload it in APPLOAD, it still tries to load the DVB on the next start.

I'd forgotten that I made a macro button for it, I've now removed that from the CUI - still doesn't work.

Changing profiles has no effect.

File/content does not return any results.

I was running the DVB from a temporary location on my desktop as I was creating and debugging. Normally I would edit the .lsp files to automatically load whatever DVBs I am working on, however now that seems to not be the case.. I can't figure out how the heck I'd get it to load like this in the first place without using the .lsp

Check ACAD.LSP and ACADDOC.LSP (note the lack of version) found first through the support file search path.

Also check for ACAD.RX, although I cannot remember if you can load DVB through that or not.  There should be a VBA equivalent VBA module; although the name escapes me at the moment it should be in the VBA/ActiveX docs.

Changing is good, but have you tried a NEW Profile?

It is your OWN coded dvb file??? LOL

Appload > Contents was the trick!! That was not a very obvious step at all.

What's the point of everything referring to it as the "Startup Suite" when the silly button is called "Contents"???

Also, yes it was a DVB of my own creation which is why it was so frustrating!

For future reference,

"Startup Suite" is found under Manage tab > Applications panel > Load Application > Contents button

Thats like my link for you before  and in both there is written where you can go and where it is located.

The Button is labeled "Content", but see above .. the area for this in the dialog is named "StartUp Suite"]

Looks like this since AutoCAD2000 > APPLOAD

Happy to have helped
