In any of these cases, your client application should resort to using the
Networks collection. Once opened, the entry for the network in the
RemoteNetworks collection will be repaired.
3. Get the network to be opened. In this case, you need to specify the
network to be opened by the Network object’s RemoteNetworkName
property. The default value for the RemoteNetworkName property is
r_<Network Name>, where <NetworkName> represents the value
assigned to the Network object’s Name property. For example, if the Name
property is set to HVAC, the name in the RemoteNetworks collections
will be r_HVAC.
Dim MyNetwork as LcaNetwork
Set MyNetwork = NetworksCollection.Item("r_Building 75")
4. Call
the
Network object’s Open() method to open its LNS network
database. The LNS Server utility must be running on the PC containing
the LNS network database, or the operation will fail.
MyNetwork.Open()
5. Once you have opened a network, you should follow the tasks described in
the Opening a System section later in this chapter to configure and open
the system.
