VBA macros ’dieing’?

dthomas

We have an RS station set up on a permanent demonstration cell, with a few macros for attaching and detaching objects.  It seems that after a while, the macros no longer function.  We are using a Webware SDK app to start/stop/control the simulation, and this works fine, ie the sim starts and runs, but nothing attaches/detaches!!

Hi Dean

Do you use I/O signals in the vc to control attach/detach and if so do they change after the Attach/detach stops working?

FYI

Basiclly it's not a god idea to have 2 different applications running against the same controller (same problem IRL) because the controller can't handle 2 users at the same time and in your case RS use one connection to the VC and the SDK application use anotherone so that may be your problem.

Thanks for the reply Per,

unfortunately the pc hdd has just died for that demo, so it will be a couple of weeks before I can check this out.
