  Actually the first CATIA V5 session having a VBA-macro
  library (catvba-file) on a shared drive in his list of Macro
  libraries will effectively lock all following CATIA V5
  sessions from having access to the same VBA-macro library.
  This is also the case when clients have
  ReadOnly access to the Shared drive.
  .
  Sev. 1 justification.
  It is not possible to deploy VBA-macroes for company-wide
  use with this restriction.
