Hi Archie
I can't offer any help on the programming front and my graphic designs can be an acquired taste. But having seen the comments on OPC I can do some research for you.
A version of the dll you need for VB is here and free:
http://gray-box.net/daawrapper.php
Sample code for accessing OPC data is here:
http://www.faweb.net/us/opc/sample_vb.html
Info from Kepware can be downloaded with examples:
http://www.kepware.com/KEP_KB/default.asp?ToDo=view&questId=84&catId=60
http://www.kepware.com/KEP_KB/default.asp?ToDo=view&questId=81&catId=60
There is stuff here that made my ears bleed:
http://www.opcfoundation.org/Downlo.../OPC DA Auto 2.02 Source Code 5.30.htm?RI=305
And another OPC client:

Hope some of that helps if you get time to look at an OPC addition to your HMI.
If me spending time Googling and searching can help in any way, let me know.
