Hello All,
I've learned a lot from this this forum, such as getting data from AttachMate to Excel, writing subroutines, and much more.
Finally have a chance to post some code and ask for help!
Decided to be more productive at work, i have programmed a panel of buttons to go to various screens of AttachMate. The problem is that i am having is that every time i click on a button AttachMate would open/go-to the screen but the dialog box will close afterward.

I would like the dialog box to stay open so that i can go from screen to screen by clicking the buttons to view various data for the customer.

I read that in another post that the Function will need to be set to true, but i don't have a function, nor do i know how to write one...sorry if i am not clear. Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Code: 
Sub Main()

            Set System = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")     ' Gets the system object
            If (System is Nothing) Then
                        Msgbox "Could not create the EXTRA System object.  Stopping macro playback."
                        STOP
