We have SapAutomation on our 3.1G version, however I don't remember
seeing it on the 3.0D version. Whoever installed SAP should look in
the installing CDs to find it. I like it verymuch. I run the
SapAutomation, and setup recording for Visual Basic files. I run through
a set of procedures in SAP to, for example, create an invoice.
SapAutomation generates the visual basic equivalents. Actualy they are
calls to an sap OCX. I can then take that VB file and add other nonsap
procedures to it. It is quick, and a hellofalot easier than creating
IDOCs to pass data around. Look for the following files for help:
Autosap.hlp
Itole.hlp
BTW the OCXs need to be registered on your computer using REGSRV32.exe
OR when you install the sapgui If I remember correctly there is a
selection for sapautomation installation on the client pc.
Have Fun!
