Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  The Microsoft VBA code seems to have a problem
  in initialiazing the VBA events handler when we are
  in the VBScript thread. As this problem is specific
  to the Microsoft code, we cannot find a solution a
  have to close this issue Permanent Restriction.
  However, there is a by-pass that consists in writing
  a VBA macro instead of a VBScript macro to do the
  CATIA.SystemService.ExecuteScript method call.
  As this scenario already uses a VBA form
  (which is not supported on Unix), this is useless
  to use VBScript and using VBA would
  be more consistent.
