How to Run a VI when it is active?

[Thijs Boeree]

Yes!! I got it to work! Thank you very much I also needed to set te client
VI's with the options floating and then i can switch forward and backward
trough my client VI's!

I just have one more question: Is there also a possibility to open more of
the same VI's with different data: for example: a Client VI with the name:
"data on waveform graph" and then have 4 of these VI's running with al the
same wave form graph but with different data on it?

Best regards,
Thijs Boer�e

You want to create VI templates (*.vit) and open them with VI server.
There has been a lot of talk about this on Info-LabVIEW but I'm sure
there are documents here on Developer Exchange as well on VI Templates.
