Get RSLinx Project name in RSView

On each machine, set the default Linx project to a unique name. See the user manual for details on this process.
In RSView, define a DDE node (i.e. "ID") with application "ICOMWDRV" (for WinLinx) or "RSLINX" (for RSLinx). Topic name is "SYSTEM", which is a built-in Linx topic and does not need to be configured by the user
In RSView, create a tag called "ID" with the following characteristics:
Node: ID (or whatever name defined in step 2)
Data Source: Device
Address: GetCurrentProj

At this point the user can build the application to reference the tag ID. Using Event Detector, RSView can display a different initial screen, start a derived tag file, or any other RSView function that can be activated from an expression. Since the RSView application is the same for every project, it can be backed up and restored to a Runtime station, yet it will behave differently depending on what the Linx project name is currently loaded.

Hi,

Is there any way to determine the project name of the default RSLinx Project running on a client station in RSview ?

Thanks
