OCX ActiveX controls obsolete in ECC6?

We have a Visual Basic (well, VBA in Excel) program that runs RFCs in SAP using the ActiveX controls supplied with the SAP GUI.

We have been told that this method is obsolete from SAP ECC6 onwards.

However, I can connect our system to an ECC6 system without any problems.

Can anyone confirm whether this method is, indeed, obsolete, or maybe just no longer supported but still in place?

Hi Tristan,

SAP is alwyz backwards compatible. So Active X will still be working.

Also simply connecting to SAP ECC6 system doesnt confirm whether the VB program is working fine. Execute the VB program, so that the RFC is called in ECC6.0.

This will confirm whether it works.

Best regards,

Prashant
