Hi,


Can anyone position the EHLLAPI bridge in relation to IBM i ACS (which refers to it on the Configure, Preferences, Start Options menu) as it isn't clear to me.


I'm trying to connect from within Excel using VB Script to the emulator (and I was under the impression that the bridge should support this) to do some basic input/output to the emulator but somehow this doesn't really work (however it detects the emulator is active, so there's a basic link).


The piece of code I have in an Excel macro is...


Dim autECLOIA As Object

Set autECLOIA = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLOIA")
autECLOIA.SetConnectionByName ("A")
autECLOIA.WaitForAppAvailable
autECLOIA.WaitForInputReady
Set autECLOIA = Nothing

... and runs fine up until the WaitForAppAvailable which waits forever.

Kind regards,
Paul?
