LabView OPC question

Hi!

Is there a way to use OPC for communication with MicroSoft Excel ?
Any clues appreciated !

I've used LabView DDE communication in earlier applications but there seems
to be problems with the LabView DDE tool. It has problems maintaining an
open channel with the DDE server that I use, National Instrument told me it
was a known bug but that they were phasing DDE out in favour of OPC, so no
fixes were available.

Yours/
