    Good morning Sid,

    Thank you for your question and comments.

    There's a couple of different ways to accomplish this, but none of them are simple since there is no way (I know of) to allow the user to change the Shortcut's path from the runtime screens

    Some people would make eight copies of the .MER, with each one pointing to a different PLC. But I'm not sure if this solution is easier than what you are already doing.

    Others would make eight copies of the screens, one for each machine, the edit each set to point to the correct machine.

    With ViewSE it's very popular to have a single set of screens, and from a main menu pass in the PLC shortcut as #1, but I'm not sure if you'd run into any issues doing this in ViewME?

    Sincerely,

    Shawn Tierney,
