Here one I started with DDE. http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?&act=Down...&CODE=02&id=120 I finished all the DDE stuff to VB 6.0. But I never finished the data I got out of the PLC into an Access Database. Rich Schimdt did a DDE to Access application here: http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?&act=Down...&CODE=02&id=137 I was going to see what he did and try and finish my project, but just haven't had time yet. The DDE part of my project works.

Are the RSView tags memory or device tags? If they're device tags, you can access them either through RSLinx or RSView. If they're memory tags, you have to go through RSView. Read the respective help files for the topic and item formats for each.
