Help with OLE Automation

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.

  • OK, I lied, I have information going in, but not all the information that I need. Now if I used the DimData object would that work like this?

    Dim DimData as Object
    Type DimData
    Bonus As Double
    Dev As Double
    DevAngle As Double
    Meas As Double
    (and so forth)

    then in the if then statements would it be
    If StrDimID = "CIRC2 DIA" Then MyReading1 = DimData.Meas

    Thanks again.
