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.

  • Kelly,
    This might not help, but it is good practice for the future.

    PCDMIS prefers <demands> Feature Names, etc to have ONLY alphanumeric characters (letters, numbers) and the underscore key. Sometimes other characters work, but why tempt the demon.

    no spaces, + or - signs. It gets confused and performs math functions.

    good luck on your coding.
