Re: Direct update to Excel spreadsheets

Here's the deal.  Some program on the PC goes out and polls the PLC's. 
Then takes this data and stores it into certain cells.  Perhaps PLC 001 
quantity run goes into A4, PLC 021 quantity run goes into B4 and so on.

Anyway, the boss wants the iSeries to poll the PC, and not have the PC 
initiate the transaction.  Perhaps this way the iSeries can control when 
datafiles get updated.  Backups, period end, scheduled downtimes, that 
sort of rot.
