how to tell vb which sub to run first
hi,
i have 2 subs one is sub main () and the other is sub drawbox () and sub drawbox runs first then it creates an error if sub main runs first then it work good so is there a way of tell vb what to run first? any help will be greatly appreciated.

in vb6, submain must run first (if you choose submain in startup option - see the att. image)

i'm told that vba tries the run the first subroutine that it encounters in the default module that doesn't take any arguments. one solution is to convert all of the other subroutines to functions. there is really no significant difference between a sub and a function so it won't make any difference to your coding.
sorry to misunderstanding your mesg - i thought youre writting an addin
in macro, you can set which public sub to run first - see the att. image

thanks alot for your help guys. i turned the drawbox sub into a function but it still runs the functions before the sub main so i still get my error and chris i cannot find the project options in vba for solidworks. at home i have vb6 apart form solidworks and there i seen the same thing your picture shows me and that is what i am looking for so could you tell me where it is?

this is the wierdest macro ever if you run it whith the run button it works but if you make a button for it then it does not run it has an error because it does not run sub main first it runs the functions first. i have attached the macro if someone wants to see for them self.

do you have more than one module? it looks in the default module (the one that opens when you edit the macro.
no forms just one module

answer rmb on any solidworks menu and select "customize ..."\
click on commands tab and select macro
drag the "new macro button" and drop on any toolbar you want
a dialog box (as the one i attached in the earlier mesg) appears to let you select things such as image, macro and defaul sub

your solidworks must be different than mine i am using 2008 s.p 4 and in my window i cannot choose a sub i can only choose a module and i only have one in this macro so that is the only one available
