Active X log in
Have you looked at the Bloomberg ActiveX control? That will avoid having to
log onto the Bloomberg terminal. There are samples of code in the bloomberg directory on the PC that has Bloomberg installed. Or try the Data License or phat pipe?? -- www.alignment-systems.com "freddie mac" wrote: Hi!

Active X log in
Hello John! I am very limited knowledge of this (I really dont know what
Active X is..). I found an Active X folder in the folder where I keep the Bloomberg. However there were just a bunch of .dll files and none had names that said anything about login. Since I am no programmer I would need a document that guides me through how to do it. Active X is no requirement for me, whatever is reliable works (ie not SendKeys). The Bloomberg helpdesk offers no support on this whatsoever (in fact they said that you could not login to Bloomberg using macro which is not true, they have even less knowledge of this than me although I (my firm) are paying them top dollars for their service. Any help always appreciated! Thanks! "John.Greenan" skrev: Have you looked at the Bloomberg ActiveX control? That will avoid having to log onto the Bloomberg terminal.

Hi there Arne,
Ok, Bloomberg helpdesk is about as useful as a chocolate teapot or a glass hammer. Ignore everything they say - they are rubbish. Now, get onto your Bloomberg Account Manager and get him/her to help. I'm afraid that I don't have the time to sort out all of the issues that you are facing, bit for $1500 per screen per month Bloomberg ought to help you. Good luck. -- www.alignment-systems.com "Arne Hegefors" wrote: Hello John! I am very limited knowledge of this (I really dont know what Active X is..).
