According to AutoDesk AutoCAD LT does not support VBA but does anyone know if you can still access the AutoCAD object model in VB6 or VB.Net to perform Tasks on a PC with LT installed?

Thanks

You can use a stand alone Visual Basic programme to interact with AutoCAD LT using DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange).
I've done it a couple of times.

There have been a couple of threads on this subject

As far as I know VB .NET does not support DDE future. You must use VB 6.0
