DesginTable API Question

I'm writting a macro that inserts a design table from an Excel file using:
Part.InsertFamilyTableOpen "designtable.xls" which works for the most part.

This is basically the same as clicking "Insert->DesignTable->from File".
However, When you do this maunally there is a check box that says
"Link to file" which I believe sets the DesignTable.LinkedToFile property to
"True".

Would anyone have any idea how to set this property in a macro?

Set DesignTable.LinkedToFile = True doesn't work. :-(

TIA

 

George,

Just use the following without the "Set" before
"DesignTable.LinkTofile". The LinkToFile property is a boolean
(true/false), therefore you don't need to use "Set"

DesignTable.LinkToFile = TRUE

Thanks, but... that doesn't seem to work either.

"DesignTable.LinkToFile = TRUE"
returns
"Object doesn't support this property or method"

:-(

If I understand things correctlly.... DesignTable is the Object, and
LinkTofile is the property.

Where DesignTable is (in this case) defined by "Set DesignTable =
Part.GetDesignTable".
Part is defined by "Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc"

Am I missing something stupid here?

TIA

 

Never mind.......

It's a SolidWorks problem. I've been banging my head thinking
I was doing something wrong.

Thanks for all the help anyways.
