Selecting a particular session with multiple sessions open

[TooNew777]

I am trying to select session 4, when 4 sessions are open on a machine. What I did was to record a macro and save it, jumping from one session to another to see how Extra Basic identified the different sessions. Every thing works, until I try to add this in:

SessName0$ = "SESSION4.EDP"

When I try to declare SessName0$ it acts as if it is a keyword. Is this because of the $ on the end. This was the expression Etra recorded, when I went from one session to another. My idea was to be able to use a particular session. we use 4 sessions in our offices to work on the Host system.
Does anyone know if this is a system keyword?

TIA

In selecting a particular session, you need to first find the index of the session name you want. This might work:

Dim Sess0 As Object
For i = 1 to System.Sessions.Count
If System.Sessions.Item(i).Name = "SESSION4.EDP" then
Set Sess0 = System.Sessions.Item(i)
Exit For
End If
Next i

I'm not sure if this answers your question directly, but it should get you on the right track.
