Using the Logon Control to Connect to R/3
Most controls deal directly with R/3 and therefore need a connection to the application server. To get a connection, you need to create a Logon object and call the NewConnection method on that object. The result of this call is the connection object. To log on to the R/3 System, you use the Logon control. The example code generates the window shown below:
‘ Create the Control.
Dim LogonControl As Object
set LogonControl = CreateObject (
" SAP.LogonControl.1 " )‘ Create the connection.
Dim conn As Object
set conn = LogonControl.NewConnection
‘ Log on.
if conn.Logon (0, True) <> True then
MsgBox
" Cannot log on! "End If
You can set parameters for the logon process such as user name and password. See the <LOGON control SECTION> for details.
