Running Script files using VB

All, I have a really good feeling that we are the only company that has run into the problem I am about to try and explain to you. AutoCAD really sucks when you try and print a drawing and when it can't find the printer it was last saved with, either because the printer no longer exists or what have you. I have been told you can Manually run Script Files that will add the proper printers and page setup. Please forgive me if I am speaking incorrectly, I have not used AutoCAD since College, 12 years ago. I guess what I am looking for if someone has any examples of VB Code that will run a script file so when users hit the plot button, they won't get the message that comes up, not finding the last printer saved.

Help???

Thanks All,

Rodney

Ok, I found some info.

>

Dim filenameSCR As String

filenameSCR = "C:\Scripts\" & "Name of Script file" & ".scr"

ThisDrawing.SendCommand ("_script" & vbCr & filenameSCR & vbCr)

>

but it always brings up the dialog box wanting you to select the script file.

Any ideas???

turn off filedia

FILEDIA 0

Then turn it on when you are done.

You can also use: Thisdrawing.Application.RunScript

why call a script to plot from VBA, why not print from VBA? I have code if you want it
