Assume that the two target block parameters are: 1) C:B.P and 2) C1:B1.P1 I would have my FV display/overlay, write its value to C:B.P (or C1:B1.P1) and have C1:B1.P1 connect to that data source. For example, assume that the targets are CALC blocks and you are using the ICC. In that case, FoxView would write to C:B.RI01 and the input of C1:B1.RI01 would be C:B.RI01. This second connection would look something like this in the ICC: NAME B1 TYPE CALC ... RI01 C:B.RI01 ... This is very effective since it is likely both targets are in the same CP. The only other reasonable approach is to create a block specifically to hold the value (C:B.P; a Data block is typically used) and connect both C1:B1.P1 and C2:B2.P2 to that Data block. In practice, I can't think of any behavioral difference between the two approaches.
