View Full Version : [SOLVED:] Using VBA to Automate Attachmate Extra! X-Treme

I want to use Access to build a maco that automates a terminal session using Attachmate Extra! X-Treme. The problem is that the documentation that comes with the program sucks.

Also all of the examples on Attachmate's website are for VB6, not VBA. So, when I downloaded one, I couldn't do anything to/with it, because I don't have VB6.

I was hoping that someone out there uses this program and could point me toward some good resources/documentation for using VBA for automation.

I've cross-posted this in the Other Applications Help section: http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?p=143509#post143509

VB6 and VBA are quite similar, can you post the VB6 code for us to look at to see what appears to be doing?

My problem was that I couldn't even look at the code because I only have Access, not any other VB editor, so the example files I downloaed were worthless.

But, I got a response from my cross-posting that I could open the .frm file and look at the code in Notepad, which I did. Now I can actually see what's going on, which helped tremendously. I've actually got some VBA that will launch a new session now.

Thanks for the help.
