Ok, so how are you managing this when not at the computer?

With a simple Sendkeys macro (I have shown it in my original post). It
works sometimes, sometimes not. That's the reason I thought there may be
a "deeper" programmatic way to do it.

Thanks again.

You've only shown lines of code from your macro, not the entire macro code!

You can replace the SendKeys lines with code to call the individual Ribbon
controls that fire those events (start,pause,stop) if they are individual
menuitems. See here...

Thanks Garry. That's the whole macro. I schedule it to activate at certain
hours of the day to turn the data stream on and off. Since it's really a
toggle between "start" and "pause", that's all I need.

I see!
Just so you know, all the RealTick videos I watched on YouTube show a window
with a title; - that suggests there's more to what you are doing with it than
you are letting be known here! What creates the Ribbon menus?

Also, my research finds that RealTick has been replaced with EZE EMS.
