The following code will:

• load TM1 add-in
• hide the TM1 toolbars (most people do not need spreading, developer.. tools)
• log you on your TM1 server
• open the Server Explorer
• expand the applications and cubes

so you are just 1 click away from accessing your TM1 data :)

Replace the "\\path\to\tm1p.xla","server","user" and "password" strings to your own settings.
