I don't know if I'm on the right place but I would like to have help on the following problem:
I have made a program in Visual Basic 6 which works with Autocad LT. The LT version does NOT work with VBA or ObjectARX but I create scriptfiles and start Autocad LT with them. At a certain point I just need a list of the blocks in several drawings. This means that I have to start start Autocad a dozen times with a scriptfile. I heard that there is a DLL-file containing a function to extract blocks from a drawing without starting Autocad LT. I would like to know which function from which DLL with the parameters I should use for this.

I haven't heard that. DDE (http://members.iinet.net.au/~bigbyte/vb.htm#dde) is the only way I know of to talk to LT.

That worked up to version LT2004. DDE doesn't work anymore now.
