PLC5 Cross Reference

I'm looking for a way of importing RSLogix5 cross reference data into an Access database. Currently my approach is to print the cross reference report to a file and then write some special text parsing routine to get the data into tabular form.

I have played around a bit with the RSLogix5 version 4.00.00 ActiveX library but can't seem to get to the cross reference data file.

Can anyone suggest a better approach?

Have you had any feedback with this ? I need to read and document some PLC5 code and would like to find out ways of doing this?

I ended up printing a cross reference report to a text file. I wrote a program in C that reads the text file and writes it into tabular form. I then imported the cross reference information into an access database and linked Intellution iFix tags with this data for documenting the interface between the PLC and SCADA system. I've attached the c program. It's not perfect but worked for what I needed.
