Compile Error???

[msretenovic]

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to understand what to do with this error that I'm receiving. The error I get is:

Compile error:

Object library feature not supported

I don't know why I'm getting this error as the routine that I'm running works on other systems. Here is a snippet of the code that I'm getting the error on.

Dim prefs As AcadPreferences 
 
Set prefs = ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences

The blue highlight is where the error seems to occur. And this is where I REALLY don't understand why - I'm just assigning a value to a variable.

This is on AutoCAD 2005 on Windows XP Professional.

This has been working on AutoCAD 2005 on Windows 2000 and another Windows XP Pro box. Any help or hints would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Do you have the IDE set to break on all errors or just unhandled?

It was set to unhandled, but I just tried with break on all and received the exact same error message. ~scratches head~

Thought maybe something was hiding from you....possibly a corrupt dll??? Maybe try a repair on your install? Hate to go there but it is strange.

A corrupt dll?!?!?! I hope not as it is a new install already. I can take a look at repair, but don't know if it will help.

...it is a new install already.

But were there previous installs? Perhaps its finding an older tlb somewhere in the search path? Is the correct tlb getting selected in the References?

[mtuersley]

Good point, Ed.

Mike think about the install...is there something different now then there was before? Did you install anything afterwards? Do you have any other versions of AutoCAD installed?

You said this is a new install and I think its a safe guess that you have a small amount of custom code, right? After the install, you added the custom. Is it possible that one of those overwrote something?

[msretenovic]

Actually, there was no previous install - it is a new computer, fresh out of the box. There was no custom code added to it before either as the error message came up in the code that I use to help set all my paths to my custom code.

Did you check your references? You still could have a missing reference, although I haven't seen it return this kind of error. The only other thing I can think of is post your dvb and let us see if we get the same error.

I'm not sure what references I need to check to tell you the truth. But I have attached my DVB file for your purusal. I'm just going to reiterate that it works fine on all but this one computer. I have used it on another Windows XP machine fresh out of the box and all of our other computers are on Windows 2000. All of our AutoCAD installs are 2005.
