Q.

How do I create an Alias object, using the Novell ActiveX controls for Visual Basic?

A.

Here's an example:

Dim done As Boolean
Dim entry As NWDirLib.NWEntry
NWDir1.FullName = "NDS:\\W2KTree\o=novell"
Set entry = NWDir1.Entries.Add("User", "myUser")
Call entry.SetFieldValue("Surname", "myUser")
done = entry.Update
Debug.Print ("Updated User " & done)
Set entry = NWDir1.Entries.Add("Alias", "myUserAlias")
Call entry.SetFieldValue("Aliased Object Name",
"NDS:\\w2ktree\o=novell\myUser")
done = entry.Update
Debug.Print ("Updated Alias " & done)
