Thanks. I have thought this was the case and have started over already. I just haven't changed what was in the PLC, just in case. I guess it's OK now to forget it. The flash drive was in the computer when it got stolen. Someone walked into the company in broad daylight, picked up two notebooks and an iPhone, and walked out. All on video. We were barely out of eyesight. On a side note, I'm building the project better this time from the start. It's going much faster this time too.

I was almost finished with a project that I was testing with quick downloads and my project notebook has been stolen. Is there anything I can recover from the PLC? Do I have to start over from scratch? The unit is a V700-T20BJ.

Thank you. I see what you mean. My original plan, before I saw data tables, was to make various arrays to index through using integers named 'recipe number' and 'step number' as a pointers. I could work with long rows in the data tables but without names at the top of columns it may get confusing. I guess I could put columns just for labels for my use only.

Hello. I am programming a V700. I would like to have an HMI page for recipe selection and editing. I am new to Visilogic and it looks like data tables would be the tool for this but I can't see how I would use the name of a table as a variable or a variable to change the name of a table. I would like to select a recipe on a recipe page that has a password protected edit button and then have the recipe name appear on the status pages. The data inside the tables is easy enough to use but I don't see how to use the name of the table in the HMI. Maybe I have to do it indirectly, by pointer to a string? Then use the same pointer to select the recipe.
