Database Connectivity toolkit has broken vi's

[Gerardo09]

I have recently received a copy of the LabVIEW Connectivity Toolkit.  I placed the folder called 'database' in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\addons\database.  Some of the vi's are not executable. For example, when I place DB Tools Insert Data.vi onto the block diagram, I am prompted to find the following:

Rec Destroy - Connection.vi, Rec Destroy - Command.vi, Rec ObjectReference.ctl, Rec New.vi, Rec DataMembers.ctl, Rec Create - Command.vi, Rec Get Recordset Properties  (R).vi, Rec Get Column Properties.vi, Rec Get Recordset Properties (CR).vi, Rec Get Column Properties (CR).vi. At this point, I am not aware of how to correct this problem. Any suggestions and/or insight would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

"Received" in what way? What do the installation instructions say?

Is this related to this thread?

Yes, it is related to that thread. I did not realize that I could not even begin to connect to a database.  My main problem is the one I am referencing now.  My company purchased the toolkit a long time ago, and the original disks are said to be lost. However, they maintained a backup copy of this tool kit.  The back up that I speak of is a folder named 'database'.  There are no instructions, and there are no examples. I took this folder and placed it: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\addons\database. The database option does appear on the function pallete and the DB Tools Open Connection.vi works, as well as the DB Tools Close Connection.vi.  The folder contains the following LabVIEW VI Libraries: Auxilliary, Command, Command-Recordset, Connection, Parser, and Recordset. Is it possible to install the Database Connectivity Toolkit in this manner?

Most of the VIs you are prompted to load should be located in the recordset.llb library. Maybe it got corrupted?
