size=2>Hi,
<FONT face=Verdana
size=2>
This is a
brute force method of programmatically starting AmiBroker using Visual
Basic and a windows shortcut, if you are using vbscript you will have to adapt
to suit.
First create a
windows shortcut to AmiBroker (or use the existing shortcut) and place
it somewhere on your hard drive then set the path in the code below. Once
AmiBroker is open using this method you will be able to use OLE
Automation.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Several reasons including but not limited to:
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>1) There could be an installation problem related to OLE
Automation
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>2) I have several scripts that I am wanting to batch which may
require different databases
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>3) It should work in this manner as I do not need to have Excel
executing in stand-alone mode to use Excel objects

<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You seem to be determined to do it this way so you'll
have to find out on your own as I don't really know for sure what's set and
what's not set.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Adding the code to load the database does give securities that are
processed. The _TRACE(DESC) functionality
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>does NOT display any of the securities being processed although
you can see them in AA. Adding the AB.Quit() method appears to remove
the broker.exe module
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>from memory. Any other settings need to be loaded to get this
to work in stand-alone mode? I have noticed the toolbar settings are
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>changed when executing the script and then going back into Amibroker
from what they were before executing the script.
