Multiple Hmis, One Csv

[mlwalter77]

I have a situation where I have multiple GE Fanuc HMIs running Windows CE. I am using Cimplicity Machine Edition and am referencing a CSV file to obtain relevent information about a part via its part number. I would like the CSV to reside on one HMI and have the other HMIs reference that one main CSV. This is so we can maintain one CSV in one place and not one CSV in multiple places or even multiple CSVs in multiple places. I know that I can reference parameters on the other HMIs by enabling networking, but I haven't been able to reference a CSV file across the network. Maybe I'm using the wrong syntax for the filename when trying to open it across the network?

Maybe, what syntax are you using?

I believe it is something to the effect of: OpenCSVFile "\\100.100.1.10\Flash Storage\fxViewRuntime\Project\CSVFile.CSV" The 100.100.1.10 has the CSV file, and I am trying to have 100.100.1.30 open it. I can ping 10 from 30, so I know they can talk, but I can't get them to share this file.
