Running macro @ startup with multiple modules

Dale Dunn graciously provided me with a tip to start a macro upon startup of
SW by adding this to the shortcut target
"C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\SLDWORKS.exe" /m "G:\users\cds\Working
Macros\Events.swp"

The problem I have run into is I added a few Modules and now it is running
the wrong function
Instead of Module1.Main I am getting Get_User_Name.GetUserName, Is there a
way to specify Module1.Main or to specify which function runs automatically,
say, in the code or preferences or something

TIA

Im not sure if there is, but that would sure be handy

>>or to specify which function runs automatically,

Try moving your Sub Main to be the LAST sub/function in the module.

One possibility...

One quirk I found with SW macros is that the code for "Sub Main()"
has to be at the bottom of the module it is in.

Didn't I read that's supposed to be fixed in '04?

I am running 2003, and that worked but I had to move it to the module that
was being run and move it to the bottom. How does it decide which module to
look for Sub Main() in. I had it in Module1 and it was the only procedure
in there. I haven't tested 2004.

A shade off topic... Does anyone know if there are any other "undocumented"
command line switches that could be usefull?

Macros do have their limitations in size and ability. If you want to
monitor events and start automatically with SW, there's nothing like
an addin: smaller, faster, and cleaner, plus the ability to add
toolbars and menus.

I am putting together a presentation on making an addin from a VB .exe
for our user group meeting (Milwaukee, WI, USA) March 4. This
involves taking a simple VB .exe and adding one class module (well
annotated with hints and explanations) plus a .res file for toolbar
bitmaps (this will also be demystified). The project will be posted
the following weekend to my website, http://www.EsoxRepublic.com

Getting a full version of VB6 is well worth it. There are many
advantages beyond just being able to compile. VB6 is fairly cheap,
now that it is obsoleted by VB.net.

p.s. I know I owe someone out there a posting of a registry scrub
utility. It's done, I just have to get it posted. It should be up
this weekend if the family stays healthy!

FYI--

My presentation has been preempted and rescheduled for the fall
Chicago-area combined user group meeting.
