Question
Aloha from Hawaii,

My question concerns an AutoCAD alert I always receive upon startup. The message is copied verbatim below:

A bad profile is specified in the command line: C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Architectural 2\adt.arg  The current profile name specified in the registry will be used.

So, I located the "bad profile" in question, and it is a Photoshop file that will not open. It opens in the notebook program, however, and displays the word "regedit", which a coworker has informed me is a problem that most likely occurred while registering the product. This is a legally obtained program. My question is, what's the next step to resolving this issue? Incidentally, the alert message doesn't seem to affect the running of the program itself. I just click 'ok' and everything seems fine.

FYI - AUtoCAD 2000i

Thanks!

PS - what's a "VBA Question"?

Answer
Shaun,

I appologize for the delay - i was on vacation w/ family. My question is, are you using Architectural Desktop? or just using the reqular Autocad 2000i? The *.arg file is a profile setting to be used for multiple users. Typically users prefers unique locations to dock their toolbars, pull down menu's, etc..
To fix this, either recreate a new one or use the existing ones by typing 'options' & selecting tab called 'Profiles'. You may select <<VANILLA>> if available or recreate a new one then set it current. Hope this helps!

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is one of the available programs offered in autocad in addition to AutoLisp programming.
