Dedication
My Dad always taught me to look at things in a different way. That has helped me all through my programming career and as a consequence, I'd like to dedicate this work to his memory. I will always feel his presence. Bill Kramer I wish to dedicate this book to the memory of my friend John Keith and my cousin Christopher Etheridge. Thanks to John for his humor and cre ative talent and Christopher for his youthful enthusiasm. Both left us much too soon. John Gibb

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank my girlfriend Margaret, her sons Brian and Bob and my mother for their unwavering support despite my frequent lapses of memory during the writing of the book. Sometimes focus is good for writing but hard on the ones you love. Thanks for your patience.
I would also like to thank Application Developers, Andy Baron and Mike Gunderloy for the use of their command line material as the basis for the command line workaround material. A special thanks to Bob Verdun and my colleagues at CFI for their patience during the time it took to write this book.
JOHN GIBB
My heartfelt thanks go to my family and friends for continuing to put up with my eccentric hobbies and interests. Without their support I would not be able to do many of the things I enjoy doing including the writing of books and articles about computer programming. I'd also like to thank the readers of books like this since it is because of them I must learn more and am ever challenged to come up with new ideas. You all have no idea how much energy and contagious enthusiasm that provides!

Preface
Search though you may, you won't find two more qualified people to co-author a book on VBA and AutoCAD than Bill Kramer and John Gibb. Both have written several books plumbing the depths of programming as a science and an art. Both have explored AutoCAD and AutoLISP since their inception and both are much sought-after programmer-consultants by a wide range of science and engineering firms.
When issue No. 1 of CADENCE was published in 1986, Bill Kramer launched a column titled ''AutoLISP Concepts," that over the years has transformed into his current "Programmer's Toolbox" and that stands as the longest running column in CADENCE's 14-year history. With the advent of VBA capabilities in AutoCAD Release 14, Kramer expanded his "how to" programming tutorials to include frequent explorations of the intricacies of Visual Basic for Applications. John Gibb, too, has been a frequent contributor to CADENCE and both have helped countless programmers boost their knowledge of AutoCAD, AutoLISP and VBA through courses at Autodesk University, among other venues.
A graduate of Ohio State University's College of Engineering where he studied computer science and astronomy, Kramer first "got into" computers with a DEC PDP-8 in 1975 teaching himself assembler code. He programmed his first microcomputer, a Z-80-based system with 32K RAM and two 160K disk drives, using BASIC and assembler languages. In 1985

he launched Kramer Consulting and began developing applications for general CAD systems and AutoCAD in particular, including an NC programming system called NC-AUTO-CODE that he has supported ever since its first customer ship in 1986. Kramer has taught AutoCAD as an adjunct professor at Franklin University for several years and frequently offers sold-out classes in programming through Autodesk University.
As an Autodesk certified instructor, John Gibb has himself spent a fair amount of time sharing his vast programming knowledge with students at the Moraine Valley Autodesk Training Center. With a background in topology and utility mapping, space planning and facilities management systems, he has devoted 12 of his 15 years as a programmer to AutoCAD-related applications. An author of three books and numerous journal articles related to AutoCAD, Gibb is currently a senior applications developer with Computerized Facility Integration.
