macro or vb app to set view scale factor equal to drawing scale factor?

    I have a large set of drawings that have all the drawing views set to
    have custom scale factors. Internally our standard is to create the
    drawing views to match the sheet scale factor so now I am stuck with
    needing to correct all the scale factors for all these drawings. Seems
    like a good application for a VB app. The VB app needs to record the
    drawing view scale factor, set the sheet scale factor equal to the
    drawing view scale factor and then change the drawing view scale
    factors to use the sheet scale factors. With some trial and error I can
    probably figure out how to do this but was hoping someone had a program
    similiar to this that would work or if it is at least close I can alter
    it to work.

    Thanks for any help...

    View::ScaleDecimal
    View::UseSheetScale

    You will want to save all the view scales first and compare them to see
    which is used the most and leave the ones that aren't used much the way
    they are. Some times most views are one scale but a detail view would
    be a different scale for obvious reasons.

    I could write something up tonight for 1 Bill.
