How do I poke a DDE link through Linx Gateway using a remote PC with Excel.

I used this to poke a value into a CLX processor from an Excel sheet.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'open dde link
RSIchan = DDEInitiate("RSLinx", "Tarmac")

'write data thru channel

DDEPoke RSIchan, "MarineReceiving.SequencerStepDescription[0].LEN,L1,C1", Range("[SequencerDescriptions.XLS]Sheet1!D1")



DDETerminate (RSIchan)

End Sub

To clarify
I have a network computer running rslinx gateway
A network computer running excel
Iam not having a problem reading data using dde but Iam not able to do ddepoke
thru excel only reads.

got it! It was in the snytax!! Thank-you!!

That is what I both love and hate about this vocation.

When it works, this is the best thing I have ever done.
When it doesn't work, I think about calling 1-800-TRUCKMASTER.

Glad I could help.
