Awesome Arthur....got it to work!

thanks!!!

I'm trying to get a simple write to a sql server 2k8 database (using CSV input stream) by using these tutorials:

http://www.dataloggersuite.com/dde-to-mssql-1.htm
http://www.dataloggersuite.com/dde-to-mssql-2.htm

Here's what I've got so far....

1) i can emulate traffic and have tcp/ip logger read the data
2) i have database setup and successful connection

so here are the 3 things (i think) need to happen:

1) step #2 in tutorials says: "Create a group of DDE items in the program" (I have NO clue where that option menu is.
2) Setup data parser to match SQL table
3) Write simple sql queries to insert to sql server.

Any suggestions?

muchas gracias!
