Tim,
I have the correct formula but when I click yes to start up data
link I get a error." The program or one of its components are missing".
AIMDLINK.EXE is located in c:\programfiles\aim\datalink on my AW70. Is this
the same problem you had to overcome by writing the batch file??
Thanks again.

Daren is correct. All you need to do is enter the following formula into
the Excel spreadsheet cells:
=aimdlink|objectaccess!'AW5101/COMPOUND:BLOCK.PARAM'
The single quotes are required, and AW5101 is the letterbug of the AW where
the AIM instance is located. When you start up the spreadsheet, you'll get
asked if you want to update links, and you click "yes". Then it should ask
if you want to start AIMDLINK.EXE, if you haven't already. Click "yes", and
AIM*Datalink starts up.
I've had some problems on some PC's where aimdlink.exe won't start
automatically, so I wrote a little batch file in the NT command language to
get aimdlink.exe to start before the spreadsheet starts.

Subject: [foxboro] Datalink to Excel
Hi List,
I have a few excel spreadsheets set up to look at live I/A
data.
Currently I first open up the datalink *.vew file then the excel
spreadsheet. Is there a way to have datalink *.vew file
automatically open
and run in the bacground whenever I open the excel spreadsheet?
Thanks.
