Hi,
 
Could anybody give an insight on how to start AutoCAD 2006 in batch mode from MS Access 2003 through VBA such that:
1) AutoCAD is triggered in batch mode from say a command button in Access
2) the data is imported from Access and translated into drawing information in AutoCAD
 
Any tips would be appreciated.
 
Thanks

Depending on the level of changes you would like to perform in AutoCAD - you could use Scripts (.SCR file can be passed in the ACAD.EXE runstring) or LISP/VBA macros (can be autoloaded in AutoCAD session).
