Mitsubishi OPC Server

Is anyone using Mitsubishi MXOPC Server? I have version 4.20 and I am trying to figure out how to create a DDE link to the server in an excel spreadsheet. I do this with RSLINX all the time, but MXOPC does not have simple copy/paste link such as RSLINX. I am using Cimplicity HMI with OPC server and it finds the device as Mitsubishi.MXOPC.4. If I create a link in excel as =mitsubishi.MXOPC.4|topic!D2000 it wants to try and start an executable called mitsubis.exe.
If any one has done this I would greatly appreciate a quick how too.
Thanks
Mike

Not familliar with this server but are you sure it supports DDE, I know a lot of opc servers do but DDE old & will probably be defunct shortly.

Most opc servers come with the opc dll's so you could use vb in excel etc. to connect using opc & it's more reliable.

MX OPC 4 comes with MX COmponent, which is an ActiveX control you can embed via VBA with no problems. Check the manuals for MX Component.

Didn't know it came with MX Comp, MX Comp is a good tool have used it in isolation, it's fast & easy to use
