Lookout 6.0 opc/opl error

[coledm]

I have lookout version 6.0 and RSLINX 2.43 OEM installed.  I can see the plc's through RSLINX but Lookout is giving me red "X" for all the data display windows.  I am running Windows 32bit XP. any suggestions, I am not that familiar with lookout.  I am installing on a new computer the old one died and we did not have a back up.    thanks

Red X means bad quality/no connection.

If you edit the OPC client object, can you see the correct OPC server?

When I go under the DDE/OPC topic configuration in RSLINX I can see my topic but there is no yellow padlock next to it like other lokout screen pc's

[Mike@Forshock]

In the OPCClient object under Lookout I dont see any "yellow padlock", is that in RSLINX?  

[coledm]

When I go into object explorer under connections in lookout it does not let me view the plc tags it does not see the plc through lookout?

[coledm]

yes it is in RSLINX where the yellow padlock should be

[Mike@Forshock]

Correct, the OPCClient should show the tags that are available when it is connected to the object.

If you edit the OPC Client does it show the correct OPC server in the "Server Name" area?

[coledm]

It shows RSLINX OPC SERVER whic I assume is correct

I got it working it was the Force refresh after write was checked, thanks for leading me to that screen.  I compared it to anothe lookout application and found it

Thanks
