Starting Alibre in non-silent mode

I was reading in the documentation that you can create the Alibre object using the CreateObject("AlibreX.AutomationHook") (Visual Basic) and run Alibre in silent mode (in the background) I want to be able to make Alibre visible. Is there a way to do this? This, of course is only when Alibre is not already running. I want everything to be automated if possible.

Also, I can just use empty strings for the username and password to run in offline mode. Correct?

Sorry for plethora of API posts. I save all of the complications for last...

Eric,
You are right. At present, when you use the initialize method to initialize Alibre Design, it only does this in silent mode (invisible mode).

Yes, you can use empty strings for user name, password and server url to launch in offline mode.

Thanks,

alright... Thats fine. It's not that big of a deal to tell them to open Alibre first. Thank you.
