If you are using the AIM*AT Suite (or at least the historian) you can setup the ODBC AIM*Historian driver and access data with the SQL "select" statement thru Microsoft Access. Please note that this requires ODBC driver licensing. If you would like to know which manual covers this subject, it is found in: B0193YJ AIM*AT Suite AIM*DataLink Chapter 10 covers the ODBC functionality including SQL statements and examples. Shameless marketing for May 9th 2007: This and many other great topics is covered in our 2004, AIM*AT course ;) Hope the info helps. Howard C.

What I would like to do is at the end of the day, write certain point values to an MSAccess database. I thought there might be some way to do this using a sequence block. Any help or ideas?
