Dan Rathbun

I suggest starting a new (if there is not one,) topic in the Developers Forum.

Error: #<NameError: (eval):27: uninitialized constant WIN32OLE>

Did you first have the load statement:

require("win32ole")

or require("win32ole.so")

Then you can test if the class was defined, via:

if defined?(WIN32OLE)

  connection = WIN32OLE.new('ADODB.Connection')

 # more code ...

end

There is a chapter on WIN32OLE in:
[doc] Programming Ruby (The "Pick-Axe" Book)

FYI

SketchUp 2014

Ruby v 2.0.0 - patchlevel 247
win32ole.so file is included
Win32API.rb file is included, which is a wrapper into the newer DL library, but allows the older WIn32API style calls.
%(#BF4000)[Do not copy these files from older Ruby versions into SketchUp's "Plugins" folder,
(or any of SketchUp's folders,) for versions 14 or higher !]
