To access COM Data Control

1. Install COM Data Control.

   Use the Siebel Enterprise Server Installer. Make sure the EAI Siebel Connectors option contains a check mark. For more information, see the Siebel Installation Guide.

2. Start Microsoft Visual Basic.

3. Choose Standard EXE.

4. Choose the Project menu, and then the References menu item.

5. In the References dialog box, in the Available References window, make sure the Siebel Business Object Interfaces Type Library item contains a check mark.

6. To open the Object Browser, click OK.

7. Determine the correct format for the object interface method.

   You must use the CreateObject method and the Login method. You cannot use an object interface method that returns an active Siebel object because no Siebel objects are currently active. You must use your own Siebel objects.

8. Verify that you can view the Siebel objects.

9. Add the required code.
