Login to Reuters EIKON via VBA with username and password

Hi,

Is it possible to detect that Reuters EIKON instance is not logged in and execute a login/sign-in in Reuters EIKON desktop instance from Excel VBA code via COM API and specify certain username and password programmatically (not via a pop-up window)?

Thanks,

Pavel

No, this is not possible. It's possible to login silently by checking "Sign me in automatically" checkbox in the login splashscreen. It's also possibly to detect if Eikon Excel add-in is signed into Eikon platform and trigger sign in if it's not. See the following tutorial for more details.
