Help: VBA project open/locked when run

A person in the office created a VBA project that is our shared menu interface to the office blocks library & layer tools. It gets launched by a lisp from a toolbar. The problem is when the first person initiates the menu, that person has it open (locked) & it can't be edited until they exit AutoCAD. Is there anyway it can launched & run but not opened/locked?

If this helps, the following is the lisp that first runs the VBA project:
(defun c:URSCL()
(setq OLDCMD (getvar "CMDECHO"))
(setvar "CMDECHO" 0)
(command "-vbarun" "G:/CAD-UTILS/VBA/CAD LIBRARY/URSCL.dvb!URSCL.StartMe")
(setvar "CMDECHO" OLDCMD)
(princ)
)

Thanks for any & all help.

 

They way I understand it, you have to be sure unload the DVB after running
the routine(s).

 

Hi,

If you have developed a routine to the extent that you have deployed it to
the office, surely it should not need editing on a regular basis.

Make a copy for editing, and deploy "out of hours".

Thanks for all the replies.
You're right - it's no big deal to live with. We have been doing the same workaround of keeping a master and deploying changes afterhours when warranted. I just thought there might be some command/process we don't know about to free it up after use.
Thanks again for the help.
