swVBAServer has stopped working (SW2010, Sp. 5.0)
(OP)
Hi,
Something happened to my Solidworks recently. Now, I can not use any Macro. Whenever I try to run a macro, the following message appears:
"swVBAServer has stopped working."
I talked to my VAR, and did not get a solution. Do you folks know what may cause this problem?
Best regards,
Alex

I did clear out the registry, but it did not help.

I tried a repair. It still has the same problem. I googled swVBAServer and found some discussion on it related to virus. Not sure if it is a virus.
Best regards,

In my environment, if I logged in as a different user the VBA editor worked within Solidworks.
The way I resolved it was to copy the registry settings for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA from the working user.
Then logging into the user that didn't work. I did the following:
1. Backed up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA registry
2. Deleted registry settings that I backed up above
3. imported registry settings from working user
