Hi Matt, I could see why the first scenario did that. It's the VB app that has a handle on the called app, so when your app closes, so do all processes spawned from it. In the second...somethings missing and I can't place my finger on it, but, to answer your question, according to the KB: For example, the syntax to start BMC Remedy User with a login name and password is:
Aruser /user="Demo" /password="remedy" Or Aruser -user="Demo" -password="remedy" That might/should work.

I was able to pull some of the examples. But they don't work. Here's what I tried: Dim App Dim ARForm Dim sessionId Dim Description Set App = CreateObject("Remedy.User") sessionId = App.Login("Login Name","Password",False) Set ARForm = App.LoadForm(sessionId,"Server_Name", "Form Name","entry_Id",4,True) Well, all that does is, open the Tool, Login, open the form, and then the user tool exits/closes. I want the User tool to stay open and not close. So I tried this: dim objShell Dim App Dim ARForm Dim sessionId set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") objShell.ShellExecute "aruser.exe", "", "C:\Program Files\AR System\User\", "open", 1 set objShell = nothing Set App = GetObject(, "Remedy.User") sessionId = App.Login("Login Name","Password",False) Set ARForm = App.LoadForm(sessionId,"Server_Name", "Form Name","entry_Id",4,True) Well, that launches the User Tool, but doesn't login. So I'm wondering if there's a way to pass the login credentials via the command line? If anyone has any other suggestions on how to do this I would appreciate it.
