_Path Hard-coded references...

When I'm installing ACAD-VBA-applications with References to other *.dvb (protected functions) by Clients, there's always a error-messages that ACAD can't find the referenced *.dvb at the initial location. My question is: It seems to me that these references are Path-hardcoded, is there any way to avoid is, My Client(s) do not have the same Directory structures as on my PC ... Thanks for any tips ... SMD

 

Well the obvious is to setup a test station that you resolve the references
before you release the projects. The next logical is to not reference other
dvb files. If this type of functionality is actually required, have your
company invest in a seat of full vb and create DLLs.

 

Yes the Test station is the most obvious.
Short of that I like to define Autocad a virtual path. That way it
doesnt matter if its installed in the Temp Folder. Tell your Client(s)
to put all their dvb's in support.Then
[vbcode] Dim FileName As String
FileName = ThisDrawing.Application.Path & "\Support\"[/vbcode]
