I've been programming several robots in the lab I work in using Visual Basic 6.0 and have encountered a big problem...quite often, the DDE services will need to be stopped and started on the machine so each robot can write to the database (the robots are spread out on three computers but managed on one that they are all networked to.) I've been trying to find a way to start and stop this process in the code so long runs will not have to be manned by a person, but have not discovered a way to do it. If anyone has any ideas I'd be very appreciative! Thanks.
