I have a client that would like to view the current run of a process using RSLinx & Excel... For that, I plan to use DDE.
They would also like to have access to the past 20 runs of the process. That is where I may need some help.
My thought is that I might be able to autosave the current run as the most recent past run once it finishes or the next process starts... and the past 20 runs will get bumped down one, deleting the oldest saved run.
I'll probably have to use VB for this, I'm aware, but is there an easy way to do it? I'm not saying VB isn't easy... I'm just a little rusty with it, and it seems every VB example I find has a bunch of stuff I don't know how to alter to fit my application.
If anyone has done something similar (It doesn't sound too unique), please give me some feedback. Thanks!
