David, Are you looking for history of the boolean state to be displayed? You can certainly display the boolean on a FoxView by making a "fill color - discrete" change color. But if you want the history you have to build a trend and put the boolean in the trend and perhaps into AIM*Historian. FoxView will certainly accept a Shared Variable. I created a boolean SV with 12 character name and FV displays it OK. Am I missing something?

OK, I know I'm asking a ton of questions lately, lots of unusual things to do with alarms, and I'm having to convert from Unix to Windows thinking. We have written a windows based functional equivalent of fh_sacego. It works with AIM* ODBC. I'll get it posted to the cassandra website soon. (Don't forget to send Jeremy $$$, I would pony up but you vampires [or is it werewolves] are sucking up our bandwidth, so..ok put me down for 10 bucks, but that's it.) Now I want to display an item on a foxview display based on an om variable. We used omcrt to make a boolean variable called awname_HB - where awname is different for each aw. We are toggling this once every so many seconds omget[imp] has not difficulty reading the value. Now I want to display the heartbeats on a Foxview display, but it doesn't conform to the C:B.P format that Foxview seems to expect. Any ideas?
