8. OPC Will Benefit All Industries that Utilize Process-Control Technology
OPC provides interoperability between HMI/SCADA applications
OPC provides interoperability between HMI/SCADA applications and process-control/automation devices
A standard mechanism for communicating to numerous data sources, either devices on the factory floor, or a database in a control room is the motivation for OPC.

10. What is ActiveX?
A Microsoft marketing name for a set of technologies and services, all based on the Component Object Model (COM)
Allows Software components created by one application to be used by another
Documents and controls created with any ActiveX compliant application will work within MX2000 in a secure environment
ActiveX crashes will not crash MX2000

11. ActiveX An ActiveX container An ActiveX control An ActiveX document.
An example of ActiveX with Word & Excel
ActiveX Containers
ActiveX containers are applications that are COM aware and can support ActiveX documents (more like the original OLE) and ActiveX controls. In the example above Microsoft Excel is acting as the container for an ActiveX button and a Microsoft Word object.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 is a classic example of an ActiveX container, as is MX2000’s Workspace.
ActiveX Documents
ActiveX documents are standalone applications and need no support from the outside. Microsoft Word is both a document and a container. You may use Word all your life and never (knowingly) use any ActiveX components.

VBA 5.0 now provides a complete, integrated development environment (IDE) that includes many of the elements familiar to developers using Visual Basic, including a Project Window, a Properties Window and debugging tools. Second, Visual Basic for Applications 5.0 puts the “visual” back into Visual Basic; specifically, support for Microsoft Forms and ActiveX Controls (formerly OLE Controls). VBA 5.0 delivers rich, visual features with Microsoft Forms and support for more than 2,000 commercially available ActiveX Controls. In addition to the new IDE and support for Microsoft Forms and ActiveX, hundreds of new features advance the productivity and ease of use of Visual Basic for Applications to new levels, making version 5.0 the bar to measure other application development environments against.
