I am trying to get a simple macro working in SW 2006. What I need is a message box which returns the selected component name. Which command do I use to get the name of an assembly component?

Have you tried the most obvious one, Name? :-?
For example,
dim modelDoc as SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Set modelDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc
Dim component as SldWorks.Component2 Set component = modelDoc.SelectionManager.GetSelectedObject(1)
MsgBox component.Name
Or
MsgBox component.Name2
I recommend you to read the API help in SolidWorks Help menu.
