In general, an AutoCAD 2008 automation project created in the VBA IDE or created with Visual Basic 6 should work with AutoCAD 2009.
AutoCAD 2009 automation projects use the type library acax17enu.tlb. The type library is located in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared.
AutoCAD 2009 automation projects use the AutoCAD.Application.17 ProgID for the CreateObject, GetObject, and GetInterfaceObject methods. For example, if you are using the CreateObject function in an AutoCAD 2009 automation project, you use CreateObject ("AutoCAD.Application.17"). If an automation project uses version-independent ProgIDs, change the project to use version-dependent ProgIDs.
