Importing a VBA file to edit it.

Hi,

When I am writing some codes on VBA ,later on when I open the file, it gets
like the following example:
What did I miss ? should I make a TEXT copy of the codes before I close
AutoCAD? should I convert the below machine code to VBA code by some tricks?

Thanks in advance,
Afshin

How are you opening the file? It would seem you are trying to open the DVB file in something other than the VBA editor in AutoCAD.

That's what you see when you open a DVB file with a hex editor.

No, the same Visual Basic Editor that AutoCAD is providing it!.
Thanks, Afshin

 

Can you post the file? You will need to zip it up.

Hi,

Although I have never tried it, I think the import process may be your
problem.

There are better ways to load the file:

1 Appload followed by browsing to find the file
2 VBAMAN followed by Browsing to find the file
3 Drag the file into the drafting area of AutoCAD with Windows Explorer

Yeah, Laurie is right. Import is for the ASCII format files such as .CLS,
..FRM, .BAS, etc. The .DVB files are more of a binary format. (BJ & MT: I
know, not really.) When you try to load a .DVB as an ASCII format you
should see just about what you did see. Start VBAMAN, then select the
"Load" button, select the .DVB you want to edit, it will appead in the
listbox, then select the "VBA Editor" button. Bear in mind that .DVB files
do occasionally get corrupted. It is definitely worth Exporting all of your
forms, modules, and classes in the project to .CLS, .FRM, .BAS files every
so often.

 

Thanks for all the anwsers,
I am getting the folowing message when i try to load the file:

The Visual Basic project file was not found.
please verify the correct filename was given

I don't know what I am doing worngly.
Thanks,

 

run vbaman, click load, then browse to the dvb file you are trying to load.
then open your vbaide.. it will be there.
