Data logging with a DDE link and VBA
I have a created a spreadsheet that uses a DDE link to show values from plant
equipment. The information is displayed on four cells in sheet1. I have put together a macro that copys the information from the four cells in sheet1 and pastes the information on sheet 2. This routine runs every second and moves to the next cell. . It saves the information every seven hours and starts over. In other words I know what the equipment was doing every second during a 7 hour shift. The program seems to work fine when I test it in the office, without the link and without letting it run 7 hours. When I leave it running on the machine the program crashes, I have not seen the error that comes up. Will a DDE link cause any type of error that can stop the program from running? Is there a way to program around DDE errors? This is the only program running on this computer can windows cause it to crash in any way? |
