How do I transfer VI's from MAC to PC using floppies?

[EKreidler]

I have moved 4.1 VI"s from a MAC to a Dell PC running LabView 7.0, using 1.44 Mb floppy disks. Although most of the VI displays correctly on the dell, some of the sub VI's can't be found and the VI's won't executer on the Dell.

Sounds like you didn't get everything need transfered.

Try going back to the Mac and open the top level VI and do a 'Save with Options' from the 'File' menu. In the dialog that opens, select the 'Development Distribution' option on the left and hit Save it to your hard drive. This will save all the needed VIs into a single file with an .llb extension. (at least I think it will on a Mac, never used one for LabVIEW)

After that, go to the 'Tools' menu in LabVIEW and select 'VI Library Manager'. Browse to the .llb you just created, hilight it and click the 'Convert LLBs to Dirs...' button. This will save all the VIs in the library into a directory as individual VIs again, and you'll be sure to have everything you need to transfer.

If this still doesn't d
o it, maybe the application was built with some Mac only subVIs, so they can't work on Windows. Try opening the applicaiton on the Windows machine and in the 'Browse' menu, select 'Show VI Hierarchy'. This will at least show what VIs are missing.
