Automation server

Sandra

What do I need if I want to use the automation server function. I know that such a thing exists, but that is it. I have never done any programming using it. Do I need Visual Basic knowledge?

Thanks

Automation Server just means you can use librarys from 3rd party developers, like picture converters or office integration or something like that. Just have a look at the variables defined in codeunit 397 in Financials 2.60.
You do not need special knowledge in VB or something else, since the way you use the librarys and the functions you can use with them depend on the library itself.

If you have to use languages like VC++ or VB or Delphi depends on what you want to do. Most times you can use existing librarys but sometimes it is only possible to create an ActiveX library by yourself.
