Not having shared variable library name in OPC item id?

[JasonB]

I'm using a non-labview OPC client to connect to the Shared Variable Engine.  It works well, with a minor annoyance.  For each item I want to read or write to from the client, the OPC item name is:

\\.\library name\'Item Id'

where library name is the Labview file name that creates the shared variable and item id is the variable name.

I'd like to deploy the shared variables so that I could access them via OPC just using the Item Id.

Is that possible?

thanks,
Jason

Jason-

Unfortunately, each variable deployed must exist under a library. There is currently no way to access a shared variable over OPC without referencing the appropriate library.

Xaq,

Thanks for the reply.  It would be nice not to have to refer to the library name, maybe in 9.0.
