Problem with Volo View from Excel

[drewstall]

I have a VBA Excel userform with a control for autodesk volo view called AvViewX1, and a ComboBox that is populated with file paths from a list in the spreadsheet that the AvViewX1 control should display. The code for that ComboBox is basically:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim VarPath As String
VarPath = ComboBox1.Value
AvViewX1.src = VarPath
End Sub

This code used to work with a different control when the company I work for used a viewer called CadWhizz. Why do I only get a blank screen now that I am using the AvViewX1 control for volo view?

We also have DWG TrueView 2010. Is there a control that will work with that viewer?

Still no reply. This don't look good. I was hoping somebody could recommend alternate code that might work or a setting that I overlooked.

Since it appears that Volo View is the drawing viewer equivalent of a steaming pile of..., I have decided to redirect my focus to trying to get the DWG TruView 2010 to work in place of the Volo View in my userform. Is one of the .dll files in the C:\Program Files\DWG TrueView folder the control for use in Excel vba? If so, which one?

On second thought nevermind. I will just use a shell command and open the TrueView application/File with the viewer screen in the vba window.

Thanks anyway.
