Eddit is not possible. Only if the option backtransfer is used with downloading to the panel (if panel supports it) you can upload with wincc-flex and edit. Regards, Marcjan

Your panel is OP177B, so it even has no memory card slots. Here is from WinCC Flexible 2007 manual: "If the source data file for the back transfer operation is provided by a Windows CE device, this device must have an external memory card. If the HMI device does not have a memory card or if there is insufficient memory space, the transfer is terminated" Even if you have memory card, backtransfer option is turned off by default, so most likely it would be dowonloaded without this option.
	Best regards, Darius
