      Dim pRepresentationRules As IRepresentationRules
      Dim pDiamond As ISimpleMarkerSymbol
      Dim pRepresentationRule As IRepresentationRule
      Dim pRepRuleInit As IRepresentationRuleInit
      Dim lDiamondID As Long
      
      'Create new RepresentationRules for this Representation Class
      Set pRepresentationRules=New RepresentationRules
      
      'Create new Simple Marker Symbol (diamond)
      Set pDiamond=New SimpleMarkerSymbol
      pDiamond.Style=esriSMSDiamond
      pDiamond.size=4
      
      'Create a new RepresentationRule using a SimpleMarkerSymbol object that implements ISymbol interface and add to Collection
      Set pRepresentationRule=New RepresentationRule
      Set pRepRuleInit=pRepresentationRule
      pRepRuleInit.InitWithSymbol pDiamond
      'Initializes with standard ArcGIS symbols
      lDiamondID=pRepresentationRules.Add(pRepresentationRule)
      pRepresentationRules.Name(lDiamondID)="diamond"
End Sub
