Interesting idea. You've given me some food for thought. Here's a bit more detail for anyone following along on how I've got it sort of working at the moment.
Instance 1/Machine 1/Data Entry Form User is entering data into 2 specific columns in a grid. After they enter the data in the 2nd column, the grid automatically moves to the next row. This updates a table with a single row with the appropriate value. Instance 2/Machine 2/Slideshow Form Unattended system. Timer in form fires every 100ms and checks the value in the aforementioned table. If it's different, fire off the code that moves to the appropriate slide. So to go the automation route, I would have to get an external object reference to the 2nd instance which could be any other system on the network... But if I can manage that, I could call the appropriate method at runtime. Hmm...
