Hello All,

I know that from VB/VC++ we can call Baan DLL methods. Is it possible to call Win32 or COM DLL methods from a BaanERP script? For example, I have developed some DLLs in VB and VC++, and want to call their functions/methods from BaanERP scripts.

Thank you for any ideas and hints.

I've only used the connection in one way. From BW (the baan windows client) to the baan backend (bshell). I don't think the bshell can directly start a COM object. Not sure about Openworld, since I've never used it.

You may be able to work around this by getting the bshell to run a file on the client PC. Get the bshell to write a vb script, send it to the client PC, then run it on the client PC - that talks to your DLL in written in VB/whatever, the DLL writes out a file to the local machine with the results of its actions. The bshell then retrieves the file off the local PC and checks its output. --- Long winded, but doable.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Yes it may be done this way as a workaround.

But I am wondering is there a direct possibility as I mentioned in the original post?

Thanks.
