Scripting Help for auto Save-as

Trying to get going on some scripting and automation. Very new to this so any and all help most appreciated. The following code gives this error :

---------------------------
PC-DMIS Basic Scripting Engine
---------------------------
Error on line: 9 - OLE Automation object does not have a default value
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Can someone help me get this simple script running?

Sub Main ()
Dim App As Object
Dim Part As Object
Set App = CreateObject ("PCDLRN.Application")
Set Part = App.ActivePartProgram
Dim Serial As Object
Set Serial = Part.GetVariableValue("V1")
Dim NewName$
NewName = Part.Path & Part.PartName & "_" & Serial & ".PRG"
retval = Part.SaveAs(NewName)
' Cleanup
Set Part = Nothing
Set App = Nothing
End Sub


I believe this code was originally posted in a different (and probably much better) form by VPT.se. I'm trying to learn how to do this sort of thing by modifying it.

Thanks for any help.

  • Josh, I don't want to see an "auto-save-as" feature that can't be toggled off.


    dph51,
    Of course it should be toggled on/off. It should also never occur during other operations (the auto-save flaw of 2009 & 2010 versions).

    FYI, 2011 MR1's document recovery works like this: each time you save it also creates a backup copy too so if you lose the original you can recover from your last save point.
