Boundary Conditions

(OP)
I'm trying to program FEMAP using VBA through Excel.  Am quite new to it and am having problems applying boundary conditions.  I want to constrain a point (of which I know the ID) in all six dof.  I am trying to use feBCSets and feBCGeom to do this.  The code runs without errors but appears to do nothing.  Any sugsestions?

Extra info.  I am using geometry based constraints as I don't know the nodal ID of the position I need to constrain, and believe that by using feBCGeom.expanded = true that I can get the geometric constrains to map to the nodes.
