I was just wondering if anybody knows where I can find ActiveX Controls that work for FactoryTalk View I am trying to export some faults and messages to an excell file

Are you using FTView ME or FTView SE ? If you're using ME, are you running it on a PV+CE terminal, or on a Windows XP computer ? ActiveX onboard the PV+CE terminals is generally less functional because Windows CE components are less popular and available than ones written for XP. You can use virtually any ActiveX in Windows XP for use with ME or SE. The list of RA-provided ActiveX components is in the RA Knowledgebase as document 26732. For logging data to a CSV file, you're probably going to want to start by looking at the DataStore Plus object. I'm not well versed in how to log "faults and messages" in a non-native format.
