I have been scouring the web for the better part of two days trying to come to a concrete determination on an issue folks. I'm hoping one of you can help me.
If I am running RsLinx Gateway which is capable of multiple concurrent DDE topics simultaneously, can I access those topics from a remote client? Can I do it with Windows 7? Some of the reading that I have done, leads me to believe DDE shares were killed off with XP?
Case scenario is this, the plant is running on predominantly RsLinx Pro 2.57 still because we use a ton of excel sheets in the field, some with multiple topics required. I would like to move us forward but conversion of all of those spreadsheets doesn't look enticing and the costs associated with upgrading to RsLinx OEM aren't going to be well received as well. Is there another way?
