HI Can somebody explain the difference between screen and sheet. Thanks

A screen is a page where you would place object etc, just like you know screens in NT terminals or any other HMI. A sheet is a re-usable "overlay" screen. See it as a transparant sheet on the overhead projector. You can define sheets to be used in any, all or just a few screens. You have just about the same possibilties with sheets as you have got with screens. I use sheets to create top and bottom bars with date/time, page navigation buttons, user information etc. I use this sheet on every page in my project but if I want to modify something in the sheet it only has to be done in the sheet itself. After saving the project all the screens where the sheets are applied to are updated. Hope this helps.
