    Error: "Cannot save changes to VBA project 'Support' because it is read-only"

      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 10.14.00.86
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Programming
      Subarea: VBA

    Problem

    When starting and closing MicroStation a following error message is shown:

    "Cannot save changes to VBA project 'Support' because it is read-only"

    Solution

    Try one of the following two solutions:

    1. Create a new configuration variable with the name MS_VBA_OPEN_IN_MEMORY and define its value as "readonly"

    or

    2. Run the MicroStation launch shortcut "As administrator", which should toggle permissions on the "Support" foler that the program is looking for (it's enough to do it once).
