Error Using the VB Outline API

Question

Recently, I wrote a VB 6.0 application to perform a simple task in order to accomodate difficulties with Hyperion Planning. The application initializes the API, opens the outline, deletes a few members, restructures, and exits.Following is my function call sequence and return codes:Function ReturnsEsbInit 0EsbAutoLogin 0EsbOtlOpenOutline 0EsbOtlFindMember 0EsbOtlDeleteMember 0EsbOtlWriteOutline 0EsbOtlRestructure 0EsbGetProcessState 0EsbUnlockObject 1030002EsbOtlCloseOutline 0EsbLogout 1030002EsbTerm 0Msg #1030002 reads "Invalid call sequence in ESSAPI function"I verified that my function call sequence matches the sequence in the online documentation.After running the app, the outline is still locked by the user logged in and a network error message appears in the log.Anybody have an idea what could be wrong with the code? I'd appreciate any help.Rick [email protected]

Never mind. Thanks for reading. I figured it out...I had a Do..Loop statement with EsbGetProcessState until done inside it. In the code example online, there's an additional EsbGetProcessState command before the loop. Once I included this, it works perfectly. No clue why though. It appears that ESB_STATE_DONE was the default value before it started checking?
