Opening Acad with VBA

Opening Acad with VBA

Opening Acad with VBA

(OP)
Does anyone know how to open a specific drawing with VBA?  I have a VBA program in Excel that can open AutoCAD 2005, but I can't find the proper command and syntax to open a specific drawing.  Everything works fine if I manually open the drawing and then run the macro, but I need it to be fully automatic.

Thanks in advance,
Pat

RE: Opening Acad with VBA

From ACAD VBA

ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open "FileName", "ReadOnly boolean"

From VB, set a reference to the the ACADapp.document equal to "ThisDrawing" example above
