bapi_display_material call from visual basic

[axel_doerr]

Hi,

i'd like to call bapi_display_material from visual basic. If i enter a not known material i get a nice message back, that the material doesn't exist, so the call seems to work. When i enter a known material number the systems returns False for the call. I normally would expect, the sapgui gets started running transcation mm03 (like it is when you test via se37). Does anybody know what needs to be done?

Hi Alex,

I am not sure about mm03 display directly from VB.

But you can use BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL to get the material data.

Hi,

for reading the data i already use the bapi you mention. That's not my problem. I'm filling an excel sheet with material data and want to give the user a possibility to launch a material display directly from excel.
