Atlas and VBA

Can you pull data directly from Atlas 3.5 for AX 4.0 by using VBA excel macros? So rather than having to log into Atas excel, you can login into Atlas and pull data from standard excel. If you can, can someone provide examples of VBA code? Thanks

    Hello.

    Can you elaborate a little more on what you want to achieve.

    If you set the workbook calculation method to Manual then Atlas will not attempt to refresh any results - so your vba can pick up what it needs from the sheet.

    Thanks

    Steve

    Hi Steve

    Well back in my old AS400 days I could write VBA code that basically brought up various dialog boxes that allowed the user to input their USER ID and password plus any selection criteria to pull data. This meant that the user did not have to log into the application itself but just do it all from excel. Could I do something similar with Atlas? Thanks

    Atlas xl 3.5 has been deve;p[ed using VBA and so most of the functionality is callable.    

    Below is an example showing how to login via a formula (instead of the popup form)  but I suggest you email helpdesk@globesoftware.com.au and request the full VBA automation documentation and sample code.

    Regards

    Steve

    Public Function AxLogon(UserId as String, Password as String, Config as String) As Boolean

    This method is a wrapper for DoAxaptaLogon. It can be called from the Atlas object.

    Syntax:

    Dim bReturn as Boolean

    bReturn = AxLogon(UserID,Password,Config)

    Parameters

    UserId – this is a valid Dynamics AX User login.

    Password - this is the password for the user

    Config – this is the config to log into.

    Return value: Boolean. True if login was successful.
