Autocad R14 vba block add problem

Status

I'm currently developing in vba for Autocad R14 and have came across the following automation error:

SRC: AutoCAD.Application
Desc : "Calling method SetObjectID of interface IAcadBaseObject failed."

In vba i am running the following line of code:

set objBlock = ThisDrawing.Blocks.Add(dblIP,strBlockID)

Where dblIP = (0,0,0) and strBlockID = "GENERICTXT"

Problem is this will work always in all drawings bar the one i am using to test right now. The drawing is NOT read only. There are no blocks already defined with this name, yet it fails. Advice please!

Thanks,
Chris

Have you double checked your default search paths? You may want to include the complete path to the block. I have converted all of my applications to the AutoCAD 2000 format so I don't have a clear cut example for R14. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com
