Hi Michela,

 

since the VI you want to modify is part of a Toolkit, I suggest you to copy the whole block diagram in a new VI and then save it in a new location.

 

 

  1. Place the DB List Tables.vi on a block diagram, double click on it and go to the tab "Window -> Show Block Diagram "
  2. Select "Edit -> Select All" to select the whole block diagram and select "Edit -> Copy"
  3. Open a new VI and select "Edit -> Paste"
  4. Save the new VI
In this way you can modify everything you want without overwriting the Toolkits VIs.
 
Hope this can help.
 
Regards,

OK, so I understood how modify a toolkit vi creating a copy of it. Great.

But my question was different: what can I do to get the database View list instead of the table list?

Thanks,

Michela
