I'm afraid no, you cannot do it all in the HMI. Okay.Is it that you do not know how to create a String Data File (ST)?or.Is it that there is one already existing and you just do not know how to enter the string data?If you currently do not have a String Data File you can use then it might be best to create one just for this feature.Right-click Data FilesNew.The 'Create Data File' window should be open.The 'File' number should default to the next available file number after the highest existing Data File number. In my example this was file number '10'. You can change it to any available number but just leave it at whatever it is if you do not have any preference.Change Type to 'String'.Give it a suitable 'Name', such as 'CURRUSER'.A description 'Desc' is optional.something like.' Object Visibility - Which User is logged in?' .Set the number of 'Elements' to '4'.

This will give you four String addresses.' Oh Lord!:rolleyes:Well, technically, I did say to 'enter your User strings'?The act of entering something, computer-wise, should imply.you click.you type.you press Enter.:nodi:So I reckon I'm covered!:site:But my coordinator does it all the time, especially in RSLogix 500. He calls me from time to time when I'm at home and says.'
I cannot change a bit value in the Data Table?' .He keeps entering a '1' and it won't 'stick'? I go off into all sorts of permutations about the scan sequence and rung orders and hidden instruction references overwriting the value, blah, blah, blah.Eventual I get him to spell it out plain and simple.' What are you doing EXACTLY when you try to enter it in?' Ermm?I click the 'box', change the '0' to a '1', and then I click with my mouse somewhere outside the 'box' and it changes back to '0'?' .Oh boy.:whistle:This job can really make you laugh, sometimes, the rest of the time, crazy.Anyway, I'm glad you're all sorted.Regards,GeorgeComputer: 'PRESS ANY KEY.'
