this code is supposed to drive the attached NC file.. any clues why mach sits there just looking at me instead?

Msgbox("Please click [OK] to start cutting hub hole")

 Code("G0X0Y0Z50A0")
   While IsMoving()
   Sleep 100
   Wend

 Code("M98(femhole.nc)")

Just a WAG but try putting a space between M98 and (femhole.nc).

Try this, again heeding the warning that  I know SFA about VB ;)

MsgBox("Please click [OK] to start cutting hub hole")

 Code("G0X0Y0Z50A0")
   While IsMoving()
   Sleep 100
   Wend

 Code("M98(femhole.nc)")
 While IsLoading()
 Wend
 DoOemButton(1000)

hmm strange i tried swapping out code for different code and just noticed this.. the code definitely loads.. i can scroll all the way down it to line 50000 etc but its not actually in the window.. after loading the file the yellow code window is 50 000 lines long but no text in it.. the code is at line 50 000 for example.. end of the code so i try hitting rewind and cycle start that jsut gives me "cannot load original file"


see attached capture after running macro.. this "invisible" code screen just sits there looking at me..

....saw that too Chris. And if you hit EDIT CODE, it's there. Close that window and it loads properly.
I beat on this for a while earlier and gave up.  lol
