I'm in the process of converting an RSView32 project to RSView SE 4.0.
I've converted most of the RSView32 VBA over to the SE model without too much trouble. However, I have a number of helper functions I'd like to make accessible project-wide (as opposed to SE's display-specific model).
I found an app note in the Rockwell knowledgebase that seems to work, but it's kind of awkward and seems a little cumbersome:
1. Create a "VBA_Master" display and add some VBA
2. Have a 'startup' macro silently load the display
(always updating but not visible): 'Display VBA_Master /ZA'
3. From any display, call a function in the 'VBA_Master' display like this (no intellisense!):
Is anyone aware of a better way to do this?

Code:
'declare a 'Displays' collection and assign the to the 'LoadedDisplays' object
Dim ds As Displays
Set ds = LoadedDisplays
'run the procecure MethodName that is contained on the 'VBA_Master' display.
ds.Item("VBA_Master").MethodName parameter1, parameter2-Trevor
