vlainsertblock error

paste from vlide console

VALIDBLOCKNAME is :
Z:\0\DbxSourceBlock.dwg

error message:
Automation Error. Invalid argument bstrName in InsertBlock

code line creating error
(vla-insertblock
ps;paperspace object
(vlax-3d-point inbPt);insertion point
ValidBlockName;string name

I'm not seeing what's wrong with the string name, anyone?

This give you a clue?
_$ (setq ValidBlockName (findfile "l:\\test.dwg"))
"L:\\test.dwg"
_$ (vla-insertblock

Looks like a backslash problem.

 

Yeah, I should have shown the code creating the printout, not just the
printout
the entered string is "Z:\\0\\DbxSourceBlock.dwg"
the printout at the vlide console deletes the extra backslash
seems to be another dbx anomally
the same exact string filename works with vlax-invoke-method 'insertBlock in
a native dwg but not in a dbx call
the string also passes findfile before getting to this point in the prog.
if I use Jeff's copyobjects method with dbx it works fine
I was just still seeing if I could find some trick to get insertblock to
work with dbx.
just stubborn i guess...
