I have been using BWS in vb.net for years. It gives you way more power and
flexibility than VBA.
After adding a reference to the .dll you need to add the imports statements as
follows
Imports BostonWorkStation70
Imports WS32Lib
Imports WS32Lib.enumScriptError
Imports WS32Lib.enumStreamType
Then create the object
Dim w As New BostonWorkStation
Then all BWS methods are referenced by the object
w.Connect("C:\Program Files\MEDITECH\Workstation3.x\T.exe", stMeditech)
w.Timeout = 45
w.Pause("MIS Directories@1,18")
w.Enter("2") 'login to Test
w.Pause("User ID")
w.Enter(userNameText)
w.Pause("Password")
w.Enter(userPasswordText)
w.Stable()
Happy coding!
