I don't know if this is going to be possible and please forgive me as I a little new with programming with EXTRA. It seems the hardest part is try to connect to the session. I have the examples listed in some other threads, but receive error msgs from VBA. I think this is due to the fact that EXTRA! Personal Client is running through a Citrix ICA Client PNAgent (Win32) program. When I run the host session it opens using that Citrix ICA Client PNAgent (Win32) program and allows access.
Can we still use VBA to access Extra nad make changes etc?
Hopefully I wasn't to confusing.
Thanks in advance ppl.
 
It's been several years since I used Citrix, but if I remember correctly only Citrix is running on your computer. Extra is actually running on the host computer somewhere else. If that's the case, then you won't be able to control Extra the same.

It may be possible to control Extra through Citrix, but that would get pretty involved.

thanks for your help..

do you know where i might be able to find some code or tutorials on controlling extra through citrix? Or do you know another easier way?

Thanks. :)

 
No, I don't. Have you tried searching for a Citrix forum?

I don't believe this is even possible, but most things are possible, just depends on how much trouble you want to go through.

I'd suggest using VB(A) to as a starting point. See if you can add a reference to Citrix. Then create an object and start exploring. You may end up being able to send keystrokes and the like. I don't think you'll be able to do much more powerful stuff.
