You canmake a Image from your PC and after then install flexible.When it did not work, then you install your Image again. I think PCS7 work with anewer SQL Data base as flexible,so i think this will be the cause why it will not be work.ButI'm not sure. regards,

Problems result in difficulties of concurrent development of PLC code, and of bigger project size, which always will contain unnecessary part of HMI. I recommend to you to think twice of interface HMI <-> PLC (in meaning of program structure) and then freeze it as much as possible without any synchronizations. If you need to configure a profibus dp connection you always can add empty HMI station of desired type to use direct IO bits (for fastest touch reaction for example). So in my opinion WinCCflex is too buggy yet to use this function (I had bad experience of loosing twice a half week work due to a database corruption on different computers with clean installations of WinCCflex - it was 2005 + HF7).
