Seeing all these asterisks prompted me to look back, way back, and recycle some rants from 1999. To quote, verbatim, one foaming-at-the-mouth lunatic on July 14, 1999: <begin quote> It's called News and Comment. Today you get comments. Foxboro product naming! Pat Germond! WRONG! (Begin ranting at the top my lungs) Allowing ANY=20 and I mean ANY product that goes on a computer to have an=20 asterisk in the name is idiocy of the highest order. I mean=20 do these people even own computers or are they just masters=20 of regular expression syntax? (Now stop ranting and try the following simple experiment) Fire up those search engines and see if you can find AIM*historian.=20 Better yet, use the search pick on Foxboro's own web site. =20 <end quote> I couldn't have ranted any better.

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?
