Permission to use Desktop API?

[wag56]

I'm an eSignal premier user ... just started to delve into writing some custome VB code to interact with eSignal via the Desktop API ...

Trying to use the code:-

esignal.SetApplication(<account user name> | <application name>)

I have the user name OK - but what is the "application name"?

When I use the esignal.IsEntitled() flag I get FALSE (Not entitled to use the API?)

I'm led to believe (from the esignal forum) it might be one of two things, namely ... my userid needs to be given permission to use the DesktopAPI ... AND/OR ... I need an "application name" from you to use?

I'm using the sample code that came with the "Developing with eSignal - Developer Reference Guide - Desktop API" .. with no changes so I'm again assuming the code should run once all permissions etc ... are OK ..

Any help appreciated ..

Duh!!!

Answering my own question ...!!!


esignal.SetApplication(<account user name> | <application name> )

I now realise this bit of code is an either/or ...

Once I set it to


esignal.SetApplication(<account user name> )

everything worked OK ....

Must remember to read everything at least three times before posting on the forum ...
