Ulrik, Tim,

my first reaction was: why do you want to do this
anyway?

Can't you just feed both channels, and a "switch",
into a calc record or some such and switch values?
Is there a good reason to actually switch the input
_channel_ rather than just the value?

Aloha,
Maren

Dear folks,  Changing links at runtime has to be done via Channel Access.
This is documented in the App Dev Guide (15.5 Runtime Link Modification).
The reason isn't documented there (or at least I haven't found it) but
anyway it's because lock sets have to be recalculated, and you can't
do that while you're running under the protection of a lock set that's
going to be recalculated.
