Has anyone used the OpenDoc6 in SW 2003

[JpPhysics]

I am trying to open a drawing Docuemnt, but cannot get it to work.

Here is the code:

Dim RetVal as Variant

RetVal = SolidWorks.Application.OpenDoc6(
"Drawing.slddrw", 3, 5, "", 0, 0)

Can anyone see the problem? And yes, I have tried declaring RetVal as an object, as a ModelDoc2 and as a DrawingDoc.

Thanks,

John G.

You have to declare RetVal as an object (as you described), but then you have to use the Set command:

Dim RetVal as Object
Set RetVal = SolidWorks.Application.OpenDoc6("Drawing.slddrw", 3, 5, "", 0, 0)

This is a MUST for all objects in VB, you have to use Set.
