Running from Microsoft® Access

Running from Microsoft® Access

One way to view the data in Access is to create a form with the text control that has a DDE function as its control source. For example, to observe the output from Module 1,01,02 Block 4185, enter the following formula into the Control Source line of the properties for the text box:

=DDE("CIULink","Output","Module 1,01,02 Block 4185")

When the form is opened, the data requested will be updated in the text box, provided both CIUMON and CIULink are running. For the link to work, make sure that the DDE function call is entered in the same syntax as shown above.
