Using VBA with ArcGIS Desktop 10

To use map documents that contain VBA code for ArcGIS Desktop Concurrent Use

The VBA license needs to be authorized on the license manager on your network. You can check if a VBA license is available for use by viewing the Availability list in ArcGIS Administrator after setting the license manager. Contact your organization's license administrator to authorize VBA licenses if you do not have any VBA licenses.

1. Install ArcGIS Desktop VBA Resources for Developers from the installation media if you haven't done so already.
2. Open ArcGIS Administrator, click Desktop in the table of contents, then make sure you have the appropriate concurrent use product selected and the license manager set.

To use map documents that contain VBA code for ArcGIS Desktop Single Use:

1. Install ArcGIS Desktop VBA Resources for Developers from the installation media if you haven't done so already.
2. Open ArcGIS Administrator, click Desktop in the table of contents, then make sure you have the appropriate single use product selected.
3. Click Authorize Now and follow the instructions to authorize VBA. If you have requested the authorization number for VBA, it would have been in an e-mail from Esri Customer Service. It will also be visible in the Authorization and Provisioning section of the Customer Care site. If you cannot locate this information, contact Esri Customer Service.

Note:

The VBA authorization number is not automatically included with your ArcGIS installation media. The primary contact on your account needs to contact your customer service representative directly, by e-mail, for an authorization number.
