RSView SE and Executecommand

[Greg Fowlds]

Am trying to pass some string data from VBA to a HMI tag.
Integers are passed ok but not string type.

I have a Int tag in HMI and in VBA:
Dim AnInt as integer
AnInt = 5
Executecommand "MyIntTag + " + AnInt
This functions ok.

Now with a string tag defined in HMI as memory.

Dim AnString as string
AnString = "Hello"
Executecommand "MyStringTag + " + AnString

This fails with cannot find tag in database.
If I try to pass a date "7 Feb 2008 20:20"
I get Unexpected characters in expression errors.

How can I get a string from VBA into an HMI string tag?

What version are you using, I use 4.0. This is how I pass a string from the VBA program to a tag.

ThisDisplay.RecipeName.Value = txtRecipe.Text
ThisDisplay.RecipeName.Download

RecipeName is a string tag.

Ver 4.00.00(CPR7)

I will test the ".Download" extension today.
The string data is coming from a seperate window and code
and is not in the "ThisDisplay" section of code.
