    Question Referencing other DVB files

    I wanted to break up my dvb file so it's easier to replace specific Modules, Classes, etc.... However, the problem is in referencing the other dvb's. I copy my acad.dvb and rename relative to the function it will be called to do but I can't remove the ThisDrawing part which conflicts with the main acad.dvb project file.

    What am I doing wrong?
    How can I create a dvb without ThisDrawing?
    Am I going about it the wrong way?
    Is there a ideal formula for vba referencing?
    Why am I here?
    What is my purpose in life?
    ....

    Pre-thanks for you comments

    You can't undefine ThisDrawing...Its built into vba. However, it shouldn't be a problem in the first place. Can you explain further what your conflict is?

    see attached error message.

    I get this each time I reference the second dvb. could it be because I'm saving the reference from the original and it's not cleaning out something that I've removed.

    You say you have acad.dvb and have copied it. Each dvb stores a project name. As soon has you copy it, you have 2 projects with the same name. If you try to reference it, then both projects would have the same scope and that is not allowed. Rename the project in the second file. The same would be true of module names.
