I'm not sure that I understand the question. Do you want to run a file using VBA?

As in talking to a PLC from an Excel spreadsheet? That's what I think of when I think VBA. And if that is the question, I recommend using AdvancedHMI. Much simpler.

You can, but you need to open up the display with the parameter file, you can't just load a parameter file and have it update an already open display.

FTView is pretty useless.
