Recently I upgraded from FactoryTalk View Studio 3.2 --> FactoryTalk View Studio 5.1. Everything has gone relatively smoothly except for 2 tags.

I have my tags mapped out under HMI Tags, I have a graphic display under Displays, and I have the following command in VBA...

Code:
...
Application.ExecuteCommand ("&Set " & TAG_BASE & "searchID """" & myValue & """")
...

And this code seems to go through and is valid in 5.1 but the following error appears:

"Write operation failed for TAG_BASE.searchID (Error: General Error: Abbreviated type does not match instance type) on route ControlLogix in slot 0 of the chassis at x.x.x.x."

Note: The system works great on 3.2 but on 5.1 I can't figure out what is wrong. Any ideas?
