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.
