Kevin,
I had Ian Wilson write a server that links all the fields except the read
only fields from an excel file. It works similarly to the linking function
inside Protel only this one works in under 8 hours. actually in seconds. It
will even fill the footprint field for you.
Ask him for it, it should be pretty cheap.
Regards,
GE Energy Services

Subject: [PEDA] Accessing an Access Data Base from within Protel
Is it possible to write a Protel basic script that can either retrieve
information from an access data base or drive an external ODBC engine (Using
DDE technology?) or retrive information from an external Excell spreadsheet.
What I am trying to do is update user fields in a schematic from a data
base. Protel does this automatically if a dBase data base is used, but all
my information is in an Access data base.
