Applies To:
  • CitectSCADA 3.xx, 4.xx, 5.xx

Summary:
I have used DDEExec() as described in the on-line help and reference manual, but I cannot get Citect to run my Excel macro. What is wrong? 

Solution:
The on-line help example works for Excel versions prior to version 5. The example looks like this:

DDEExec("Excel","[Calculate.Now()]");

This needs to be modified as follows:

DDEExec("Excel","[RUN(^"Calulate.Now^")]");

The documentation will be updated after Version 5.10.
