I have been making spreadsheets in Excel using the copy and paste of DDE links from RSLinx, so that I can follow the product path. Recently one of the sheets I made which has I/O points from 2 similar but seperate machines seems to have a bug.
When I open it now both links show the same data in other words it is only showing me the signal from one machine but on both links, while the other is not running or running.
I think this may have to do with the fact that I use 2 seperate laptops and therefor 2 seperate RSLinx? But I do save the sheets on my file under the main server which is accessable from both laptops. Would this just be that if I make the sheet in on one laptop and open it on another the path gets destroyed? Thats the only thing I can think of.
Thanks
