SW2018 Loadfile4 error

Dear All,

I have a problem with LoadFile4 (stp import) specifically in SW2018 (lower versions work nicely)

The comparison between the versions (sw2018 [doesn't work] and sw2017 [works]) is shown in the videos (I used a clean VM for the SW2018 test)

The used vba script is totally standard (it just opens a message box telling the user that the file was found).

If anyone has any idea how to circumvent this bug(?) in sw2018, it would be highly appreciated.

Maybe a SPR is in order

Cheers

Markus

    Case Else
        FileExists = False
    End Select

           
    nRetval = swApp.SendMsgToUser2("File Exists=" & CStr(FileExists) & " LoadFile4 ERROR = " & CStr(errors), swMbWarning, swMbOk)
