I don't think you're grabbing the MxDocument correctly.  Can you show us the VB.NET code you have written (if any)?  Right now it seems we're only looking at the VBA code. Thanks, ... View more

The envelope method only works if the selected polygons are perfectly square and have its sides parallel to the x and y axes right? ... View more

Completely agree.  I didn't get to post on the old forum too much but I found that it still contains a plethora of information that has been collected over the years.  Usually, they all involve some kind of in depth dialogue as to resolving whatever issue that is being discussed.  From the looks of it, it seems like this forum is just a basic forum template with some minor adjustments. Anyway, hope ESRI can improve the system. Thanks, ... View more

If you're talking about starting ArcMap (or Catalog, etc) then Express 2008 works just fine.  Debugs, step into, step through..it's all there.  The only real problem I have is building a deployment package.  Professional or standard is required for that (I think). ... View more

The code below is how I did it trying to recreate your situation.  but as Neil mentioned above, the m_application.SaveDocument works just fine. Also, you cannot implement MxDocument to MapDocument.     Public Sub SaveDoc()         Try             Dim pMxDoc As IMxDocument = m_application.Document             Dim pMap As IMap = pMxDoc.FocusMap             Dim pmxdPathName As String             Dim pMapDoc As IMapDocument = New MapDocument             Dim pMxdContents As IMxdContents = pMap             pmxdPathName = "C:\Documents and Settings\ruchira.welikala\Desktop\GIS Stuff\PracticeShapefiles\TestMXD" & Math.Round(Date.Now.Millisecond, 3) & ".mxd"             pMapDoc.[New](pmxdPathName)             pMapDoc.ReplaceContents(pMxdContents)             pMapDoc.SetActiveView(pMxDoc.ActiveView)             pMapDoc.Save(True, False)         Catch ex As Exception             MsgBox(ex.Message)         End Try     End Sub ...

Hey Robin, Have a look at this. http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/conceptualhelp/index.html#//0001000000tv000000 ... View more

Use Try and Catch around your code. Sub WhateverName() [INDENT] Try Dim pMxDoc As IMxDocument = DirectCast(m_app.document, IMxDocument) Dim pMap As IMap = pMxDoc.FocusMap Dim pMapDoc As IMapDocument = pMap Dim mxdPathName As String mxdPathName = strDefaultWorkspace & "\" & frmWSIn.txtMapDocName.Text pMapDoc.SaveAs(mxdPathName) Catch ex as Exception   Msgbox(ex.Message) End Try [/INDENT] End Sub ...

Nah, it's just buggy.  You can take out the brackets and it would still probably work. Cheers, ... View more
