Basically, the easiest way to do this is as follows: 1) start the "script recorder" in Reflection 2) do "the stuff" you want [login, transfer a file, log out] 3) stop the recorder, and when it asks for a filename, make sure you save it as a VISUAL BASIC file (.BAS) instead of an RBS or RCL file. This last step does the whole thing -- you'll end up with a VB module you can directly open with VB 5 or 6 and it will have everything laid out for you. [creating the object, setting the comm parameters, prompt-boxes for passwords that don't echo what the user types, etc.] For the most part, you're script will consist of ".Transmit" and ".WaitForString" commands [with several StatusBar.text = "what I'm doing next..." settings thrown in for good measure ;) ] One important thing to remember is to import/add the reflection "api" module (rwinapi.txt) as part of your VB project. This is a file that defines all the symbolic constants used by the script(s) created by reflection.
