    Default Stop VBA from running

    We have a user that has got VBA accidently running. We don’t use Visual Basic and every time the user tries to edit a pipe, he gets this error "compile error, can't find project or library" It is causing huge efficiency issues. I looked under appload and found “acvba.arx” to be grayed out and it will not let us unload it from the startup suite. How can we get vba to stop running?

    acvba.arx is not the vba code, but the runtime environment for vba. Hit the Break button on the keyboard to stop execution of a macro.

    Thanks Ed,

    Understanding acvba.arx is not code, just the menu loaded via appload when any drawing is opened. The desire would be not to have the script run at all and delete it from appload and from the machine.

    Thanks
    Bob

    Why not just uninstall the VBA Enabler that was installed?

    Type VBAMAN and see what vba projects are loaded. You can unload it from there as well. You might also need to find out what is loading the vba you don't want. It could be in acad.dvb or acad.lsp. If you never run any vba, you can do as RK suggested.
