Baan4.Baan4Class baan = new Baan4Class();

is to less to start my baan account and i don't know how this should work!?

please help me!

I beleive you have done tlbimp to create the dll
after that do this:
myBw.IDispatchBaan4 b = new myBw.Baan4();

What is "tlbimp" and do i need to do it? And if yes: How do i have to do it?

tlbimp is a utility that creates a dll from type interface definition from .tlb file and it comes with .Net Framework SDK, or if you have microsoft Visual studio installed.. you can start with visual studio command prompt by typing tlbimp bw.tlb /out:myBW.dll

now you can use myBW.dll by adding reference to your project VB/C# etc.

myBW.IDispathcBaan4 b= new myBw.Baan4();
b.ParseExecFunction(.....)

thank you for your answer!
Right now I use the *.tlb file and it works. There is no need to use a *.dll file, it it?

Now i tried this:
Baan4.Baan4Class BaanIVObj;
BaanIVObj = new Baan4.Baan4Class();

BaanIVObj.ParseExecFunction("ottstpapihand", "stpapi.get.field(\"tipcs2101m000\", \"tipcs020.cprj\", BaanIVObj.ReturnValue)");

I don"t know what "ottstpapihand" is? And if I start is, the error is: "syntax error in function call".

anybody can help?
