Solidworks VBA Edge Selection Wont Work - vba

Question

I have attached what my macro currently looks like below. So far the macro will make a rectangle with 2 holes in it. It then needs to chamfer the four edge corners. But for some reason when I try to select those corners it wont work. I actually will get different results on different tries.
The code portion in question is the last 7 or so lines. If I run those lines completely separate from the macro I get the results that I am after. Could it just be some syntax thing?
I am new to VBA with respect to Solidworks. I have worked with it in excel. So if you spot any bad habbits other feedback is appreciated.

I faced the same problem recently. After some google search, I found that the selectbyID2 method may behave in certain circumstances. One of them is that there is an edge that is over your required edge. And there are so many of them. So, what did I do in my code? I planned to rotate the model so that the required object to be selected is in normal view. In my case, this procedure solved my issues completely. Try it.
To rotate the model, use the showNamedView2 method before using selectbyID2.
