HD45749: CATVBA-MACRO WHICH WAS CREATED ON OLD-CATIA DOES NOT WORK ON MO RE RECENT CATIA LEVEL.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Catvba-macro which was created on old-CATIA
  does not work on more recent CATIA level.
  CATIA VBA Macro Incompatibility between
  Releases is due to CATIA Library Re-organization.
  VBA Script made under CATIA environment is
  stored with library information in registory  which is
  created at CATIA installation, and the library
  modules specified at make time are refered at run
  time.
  If library modules are re-organized (delete/rename
  etc.) in new release, Macros created previous
  release will fail.
  CAA documentation need to be updated with this
  MS restriction.

  Inter releases compatibility
  Obsolete Typelibs
  Some type libraries may become obsolete and
  disappear on a new V5 release. If an existing VBA
  project has references on a type library that
  doesn't exist anymore. If your access rights allow
  you to modify the Windows Registry, references to
  those libraries are automatically removed when
  opening the CATVBA file. If it's not the case, the
  following message may be experienced when
  launching a macro:
  CNEXT CATScriptError Message Scripting ERR_1000
  Execute the script "XXXXX" |XXXXX=
  The script entry point could not be found.
  XXXXX
  Define a "CATMain" procedure which will be the
  entry point of the script.
  To avoid this, launch VBA (Alt-F11) and use the
  Tools/References menu item to launch the
  References panel. In this panel, uncheck the
  reference to the concerned type library and click
  on OK.
  This problem may also occur in VBA project of non
  V5 applications or in VB 6 projects.
