I'm relatively new to vba macros within solidworks but have a fair amount of experience with them in excel and autocad as well as some .net experience.

I wrote up a vba macro inside sw (2007) to open solidworks parts from a windows directory and everything works great... on all but 1 machine.  Problems on the 1 machine (that i've managed to find so far...cant run it all the way through as it keeps crashing) are:

• userform opens behind the solidworks window.  causes solidworks to behave like its frozen until you minimize all, then restore sw which brings up my userform.  I've tried making a new program on this machine which simply opens a blank userform (main sub- userform1.show... thats it!) and it still opens behind the solidworks window.   What in the world is going on here?
• the GetPreviewBitmap method throws an automation error, catastrophic failure.  I've stepped through and everything appears to be working right until the error.

Again, this program has worked flawlessly on a number of other machines.

Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Thanks
