I have a vb.net application that I am writing that opens and processes an Excel speardsheet and then prints out the antire workbook. I also have as seperate worksheets within the excel file several AutoCad drawings that were inserted as WMF's with variable dimensions being filled in. The upside of this is that anyone with Excel can print the drawings, but the downside is that if teh drawings get updated, ther is not way to ensure that Excel is also.

I'm new to trying to program VB to interface with AutoCAD 2005. Is there a way to start AutoCAD, open a drawing and updatre several block attibutes? I've tried on my own with no success. If anyone has code they could share or respond with a URL, I would be greatly appreciative.
