I currently have a Wonderware application on our plant network and I am trying to display tag values in an Excel spreadsheet on my PC.
After reading the manual I have set up an appplication name of VIEW and Topic name of TAGNAME in the DDE security browser and set the access to Read only, start on connect, and trust share.
In excell I am trying the following command;
\\Wwnode\6750xycom\VIEW|TAGNAME!'Linespeed'
The prefix \\Wwnode\6750xycom is the path to the WW PC on the network. Linespeed is a valid WW tag
Excel gives an error of "cannot open the specified file"
Any idea of what I could be missing?
As always, thanks in advance.
