Loading another .dvb

From a VBA routine, how do you call a routine from a .dvb file that is
not loaded yet?

-mjm

 

Straight from one of my projects.

LoadDVB "Z:\RAA_UTIL04\RAA.dvb"
RunMacro "Startup.Startup"

Add it as a reference into your first .dvb

 

I knew about that one. But it doesn't work so well in this case cause
most of the time it won't be called.

 

Let me make sure I'm understanding what you are looking for.

You have projectA

Inside projectA are subs or modules, or something....

Now you have projectB

From inside projectB, you will sometimes call items that are already
subroutines inside projectA

You are looking for a "demand load and then release" type of binding
there? Wherein the second project is loaded only when needed, and then
unloaded?

 

Oh wait. I think I understand what it was you were after now.

Hold on.....

 

See, told you it would be an easy answer for someone else.


sigh...

 

Public Sub BillOfMaterial()

Const sProject As String = "T:\Engineering
Supt\ProgrammingData\jproBOM.dvb"
Const sMacro As String = "jproMainBom.NewBom"
'jproMainBom is the module name
'NewBom is the macro name

'open file
LoadDVB sProject

'macro to run
RunMacro sMacro

'close file
UnloadDVB sProject

End Sub

Excellent. That's it! Thanks.
