[foxboro] AIM* Historian / Datalink

I have an AW51D (Solaris machine) and AIM*Historian running on Windows 2000.
In order to gather historical data, I use the "Historian Browser" in
AIM*Datalink.  This method is NOT time efficient because I am unable to save
a query and make adjustment to the query at a later time (e.g. change the
time range, sample frequency, and add/subtract points).  

I followed Section 7 of the AIM*Datalink User's Manual (B0193YJ) to make use
of the Historian Wizard Excel Add-In to overcome the inefficiency of the
"Historian Browser".  However, excel becomes very unstable (frequently
crashes) to the point that I have to remove the Add-In.

Has anyone had success with the Historian Wizard Excel Add-In?

Does anyone have a method to save a historian query so that you are able to
adjust the time range, sample frequency and add/subtract points at a later
time?  I tried to use the AIM* ODBC features, but found that the queries are
extremely slow and the feature is also unstable.
