I have done stuff like that before but then you end up going down a rabbit hole and keep adding code to check if the file is there and create it if it is not and if it is open and so on. Would the file be local to any Windows Terminal Server View SE client?
I wonder if you can create an HMI tag with VBA in a runtime client?
Exactly, thats why i said i prefer doing it without VBA. Yes, the good thing is that the file is local (normaly in the %temp% folder, or wherever you specify), and its created automatically if it didnt exist. But still you would need to periodically check manually if the value has changed. With tags you dont have those problems, because its automatic (for example visibility or color).
Thats a good point to create Tags through VBA, i also thought about it (with the computername as prefix), but i couldnt find a way.
