I am sure there are people out there who use Excel to transfer data to and from a ControlLogix using DDE via custom VBA code. For those of you that do this have you noticed a slow down when doing a read from a ControlLogix using Excel 2007/2010? We have some spreadsheets that run excellent in 2003, but horribly slow in 2007/2010. Like two seconds to read a single tag. There is a technote out there about this issue #117732. At the moment there is no explanation from Rockwell.
I assume it's changes in how VBA/DDE is executed in 2007/2010, I'm curious if anyone has come across this problem, and if so what have you done to improve it?
