Running macro at startup

I've looked through the following posts for help but I haven't gotten
anything to work.

Thanks still to those who contributed.

I'm running SW 2006 & 2007. 2007 is installed at C:\Program Files
\SolidWorks 2007\SLDWORKS.exe.
I've tried changing the "Start in:" textbox on the desktop shortcut
properties to be:
"C:\Program Files\SolidWorks 2007\SLDWORKS.exe" /m N:\CAD\SOLIDWORKS
2007\MACRO\Workshop\AutoLoad.swp"
The "Target:" field is not enabled.

The macro is simply:
Sub main()
MsgBox "You Started Solidworks"
End Sub

What am I doing, or not doing, that is not allowing this startup macro
to run when I start SolidWorks?
Thanks!

You need to figure out why the target field is disabled. Perhaps try
creating a new shortcut to work with. The start in field should have no
bearing on launching a macro.

Here's what I've been using for my 05 shortcut (the quotation marks are
critical):

"C:\Program Files\SolidWorks 05\SLDWORKS.exe" /M "C:\0Home\FUE\doc type
watcher\applauncher.swp"

I've been using that basic format from 03 through 07.

 

That worked, manually creating a shortcut. The shortcuts I've been
trying this on were ones automatically created with the SolidWorks
installation. Maybe the fact that we have dual versions installed
(2006 & 2007) threw something off. The new shortcut did allow me to
customize the "Target:" field.

With service pack installations (we're on SP2.2), shortcuts are
usually automatically updated as well. I'll have to keep an eye on
what takes place during the next service pack installation.

Thanks Dale!
