    Re-using RE7 application logon in API

    We have a requirement to run an application (written in .Net Winforms) that fires up when you log on to RE7.  The app uses the RE7 API to deliver some new UI functionality.  This is all good and working, but we are using a specific logon that is known to the new app (username/password stored in config file).  Is there a way of using the credentials that the user logged on to RE7 with?  Would be very grateful for any help with this!

    When you create your REAPI object you just leave the user name and password blank. That way RE will either prompt you for a new login or it will take the credentials of the person who is logged in. Just ensure that you set the option so that the appMode is "amStandalone"
