Declaring Variables in a macro 1

[Creigbm]

Maybe I have missed something in the API help files, but when I try to set a variable like so:

Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks

I get an error. Why not set is as an object you may ask. It works that way, but all of the SW API help files have it listed as above but I cant get it to work. Any insight?

Thanks,
Brian

That way works for me.

Perhaps your VBA install is self-destructing, guessing from your previous recent posts.

Otherwise, make sure the macro is referencing the SW type library. If the macro started life recorded from SW, this shouldn't be a problem.

I think you are right Tick, this is getting out of hand. I have noticed that if I simply restart my computer everything works again, go figure.

When you are editing a macro, in the VBA environment, go to Tools\References.

Check if the box Sldw 2004 type library is selected. If not, VBA will fail to recognize some API from Solidworks.

Good Luck

Bingo..Thanks macPT, that worked.
