Logging into Smartview via VBA

Question

Hi there,
Appreciate any help you can provide.  I have written/copied code to create a connection and then connect to one of our servers.  What I am trying to do is to get the code to log me into the server automatically with the username and password that I have embedded in the code.  I cannot get it to log me in, the login dialog for the server connection always pops up.  Below is the code I am using hope that someone can point out what I am doing wrong.  Thanks for the help!
Private Declare Function HypConnect Lib "HsAddin.dll" (ByVal vtSheetName As Variant, ByVal vtusername As Variant, ByVal vtpassword As Variant, ByVal vtFriendlyName As Variant) As Long
Private Declare Function HypCreateConnection Lib "HsAddin" (ByVal vtSheetName As Variant, ByVal vtusername As Variant, ByVal vtpassword As Variant, ByVal vtProvider As Variant, ByVal vtProviderURL As Variant, ByVal vtServerName As Variant, ByVal vtApplicationName As Variant, ByVal vtDatabase As Variant, ByVal vtFriendlyName As Variant, ByVal vtDescription As Variant) As Long
Sub Conn()
Dim vtusername As Variant
Dim vtpassword As Variant
Dim x As Variant
Dim HYP_ENTERPRISE As Variant
HYP_ENTERPRISE = "Hyperion Enterprise"
vtusername = "admin"
vtpassword = "password"
x = HypCreateConnection(Empty, vtusername, vtpassword, HYP_ENTERPRISE, "http://planws.abc.com:80/aps/SmartView", "EssbaseCluster-2", "abcPLN", "PandL", "TEST", "Hyperion Enterprise")
MsgBox x
x = HypConnect(Empty, vtusername, vtpassword, "TEST")
MsgBox x
End Sub

We face similar issue, but if you close the smart view log in pop up without entering any username/password it still creates connection in the background. So login dialouge will pop-up but it will use embedded connection details. Just see if you cancel login dialouge do you still get connection?
