Autocad VBA Macro Button toolbar-how?

[firavolla]

Ok, I have a dvb project called SectGrinda.dvb inside a subfolder VBA_Macro of Autocad main dir.
I created the toolbar, the button, but I can't understand what i need to write inside the macro property of the button.
Now i have something like
^C^C_vbarun SectGrinda.dvb!Module1.Main

And with this, I first get the Macro dialogue of autocad, and then i have to hit run for my macro to execute. How solve it?

I'm just guessing here as I'm not at work, have you tried a ; after the .Main to force an enter?

Been there - done that!

Try changing _vbarun to -vbarun in your button macro

^C^C-vbarun SectGrinda.dvb!Module1.Main
this should run the function Main in module1

^C^C_vbarun SectGrinda.dvb!Module1.Main
this will show the Macros dialog box and expect you to then hit run

I think your best to load the file in your acad lisp startup then use your button to run the macro

look in the ACAD HELP

I had already looked in Acad help...But it doesn't seem to work. Using the - i get a Macro not found when clicking the button. Also, the macro is loaded at Acad startup using the load application option in the menu....Anymore ideas?

Thank you guys for your help. It was actually because In the folder I had the project file, i also had a subfolder and in there a backup of the project but with the same name. It should have worked even so, but for some reason it didn't. I renamed that backup and now it works great!
