    Thanks for your quick replies. Standing, Yes I am using the Document Manager SDK (I have a key). Tick, If I do not open the part with the SWDM, how does VB know in which part references are to be replaced?

    Make sure you use all the quotes in my first example. To pass quotes to a string in VB, they have to be double quotes. For example, string = "text" would give string the value of text. string = """text""" would yeild "text".

    I think this may help you. all the quotes are neccessary. weight = """SW-Mass@" & partno & ".SLDPRT""" PROP = swModel.AddCustomInfo3(configuration_name, "Weight", swCustomInfoText, weight)

    Solidworks on Vista with 9800GT

    aliensquale, in the future I would steer clear of the all-in-wonder cards. They only make for good doorstops. Spoonful, as for your problem... did you try to update the video card drivers? Get the newest ones at nvidia.com. I use a 8800 GTX with Vista and SW was giving me fits before I updated...

Here is that code if you were wondering. FOLDER = "M:\Solidworks\Tooling\Inspect\" & tooltbx.Text Set...
