Hiding/Minimizing the attachmate screen 1

[Losman500]

I have a procedure that goes to 3 different host screens and puts the information into Excel then prints is to PDF. All I want the user to see is the end result (The pdf file). I already know how to "hide" excel while the macro is running, but how about attachmate? can the screen updating or window be hidden or minimized while the macro runs?

I have not found any useful post yet.

If the screen cannot be hidden or minimized can someone let me know if there is a way to display a message box while the macro executes and automatically close once the macros is finished. I'm just afraid that my user will start touching the screen while the macro is running.

Hi,

Have a look at...

    Set oSystem = CreateObject("Extra.System")
    
    Set oSess = oSystem.Sessions.Open("C:\Program Files\E!PC\Sessions\Mainframe.edp")

    With oSess
        .Visible = True
        .WindowState = xNORMAL
    End With

I looked at the help file on Attachmate and did not find it thinking that this would belong to the screen object and not the session object.

Once again thank you Skip!
