Installing and licensing VBA at ArcGIS 10

VBA is not included in the default installation of ArcGIS Desktop applications. To use your VBA customizations, you need to run the VBA setup. This setup installs both the VBA runtime (used in ArcGIS Desktop applications) and the VBA developer Help system.

In addition to installing the software components, you need to enable the VBA license feature to use VBA as a developer or an end user. You cannot use the VBA developer environment or VBA code in existing documents without the VBA license feature. If you open a document that contains VBA code, and you do not have the feature fully installed, the following warning message is displayed:

The VBA code editor and integrated development environment (IDE) menu options only appear on the Customize dialog box if the VBA feature is properly installed and configured.
