Help with OLE Automation

kellyh
Now that I have information in a way that imports and exports the information correctly, I have been tasked with creating an OLE to automatically import the data into the SPC software. I have one that sort of works (as in opens the program, logs in, opens the right collection plan, etc) and I can get put in static information, but I am unsure how to call the information out of PC DMIS to have it be placed in the spots we need in the SPC software being used.

Has anyone else done this? Can anyone explain to me how find the variable and the measurement output in PC DMIS? I am using version 4.2 if that helps any.

Thanks so much.

  • But now I need to pull in the information from comment boxes, as in the operators will input their clock number and other information that we have to have as well.

    I think it should go something like this, but I am not completely sure at all:
    Begin VB.Form Form1

    MultiLine = -1 'True
    ScrollBars = 2 'Vertical
