Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  VBA project with reference on other VBA project fails to
  build if the referenced projects are not loaded into CATIA.
  Reason:
  This is a specification from VBA.
  By-Pass:
  The problem appears when referenced VBA projects
  (???AiMslib.catvba??? and ???BCat30_common.catvba???) are not op
  ened
  within CATIA.
  In fact the problem is alway reproducible whatever the way
  the macro is run (i.e. using tools/macro/macros or a
  customized command).
  You can reproduce the problem even when running the macro by
  ???Tools/Macro/Macros/Run??? if you have before removed the
  referenced VBA projects macros from the opened macro
  libraries dialog and restart catia.
  .
  To solve this issue, the user should go once in the dialog
  ???Tools/Macro/Macros/", open the referenced VBA project if
  they are not already opened and then run the respective macro
  using run method  after that user can run the macro using its
  toolbar command.
