Don't early bind, remove the reference and dim acadapp as object.

Anything specifically declared as an AutoCAD object needs to be an object - |
AcadLine, AcadCircle, etc.
Terry knows that, I'm just "fine" tuning the response

Hi Terry and Mike,
I've been wondering about this as I'm relatively new to vba, but basically
aware of early vs. late binding. I've seen people explain that you get
performance benefits with early binding. This makes sense, but is the
difference significant? And is the difference only in load time, or run
time as well?
Thank you,

You greased it good to me, Bob =)
James, you typically do not use late binding with vba, though. It is used
with non-hosted languages - vb, c#, etc.

Thank you both, Bob and Mike.
Mike, would vba also be considered non-hosted when it is accessing an
external application (like accessing Excel from AutoCAD)? My work in vba so
far is almost exclusively early bound. But I wished I had used late binding
when we upgraded versions of Excel and I had to go through and update
references to the new library. I think maybe that was when I became aware
of the concept. But I've been branching out a little more lately and
wondered if I should be using more late binding when controlling other apps
from acad. I've also wondered about the merits of designing and debugging
code with early binding and then converting it to late binding for
production code to avoid that kind of upgrade issue.
Thanks to both of you for the extra info.

Yes, James, that assumption is correct. I've been writing stand alone for
so long, I forgot about someone calling from another app like excel or
access

There is no point late binding when using VBA.

As Joe stated,
There is no need to late bind in VBA. That is as long as when you save the VBA .dvb file, it is saved in the earliest version of AutoCAD that will be using it and with references to the earliest type libraries you might need to use.
For example:
1. The .dvb file will be used in 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2006.
2. You will be using Excel 2000, 2002(XP), and 2003.
You will want to write and save the .dvb file while working in AutoCAD 2002. If you open the VBA file in 2006 and save, then someone using 2002 tries to run the file, they most likely will get an error regarding missing type library. Same thing if you save the .dvb while it's referencing Excel 2003 and someone who only has Excel 2000 tries to run the program.
Because VBA is compiled at runtime, the needed type libraries will, for the most part, automatically update the latest version. They will not however, downgrade to an earlier version. |
