System Login Window

Question

Hi,
I have a VBA code that connects to an Essbase cube but whenever the login fails, it automatically opens u a system login wndow. I want to control this from the back end. Is there a way I can do this in VBA? So, basically I want to know how to suppress/disable the system login window.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Hello,
If you are using API for essbase add-ins I suggest you to use ESSV functions and not EssMenu (which takes the default connection window)
you can use
Declare Function EssVConnect Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" (ByVal sheetName As Variant, ByVal userName As Variant, ByVal password As Variant, ByVal server As Variant, ByVal application As Variant, ByVal database As Variant) As Long
This function returns 0 if connection is successful, 1 if not.
Then depending on the result of your connection you may use
Declare Function EssVRetrieve Lib "ESSEXCLN.XLL" (ByVal sheetName As Variant, ByVal Range As Variant, ByVal lockFlag As Variant) As Long
If the result is 1, then never retrieve, so you'll have never connection popup.
