Application.InitializeVBA method

Forces the application to load and initialize VBA Editor

Syntax:

Function InitializeVBA() As Boolean

Remarks:

The InitializeVBA method loads and initializes the Macro Editor.

This method is called from an automation controller such as Visual Basic (VB) or C++.

Examples:

The following VBA example runs the specified VBA macro, "CreatePuzzlePiece," from a VB project.

The first subroutine should be placed in a code module named "TestModule." The second subroutine should be placed in the code of a form module of a standard EXE project in VB. There must be a command button on the form.

  Dim i As Integer
  Optimization = True
