I am rewriting a

[tcrower]

program and I have removed all globals from the program. Now whenever I try to open a VI that had a global in it LabVIEW asks me to locate the VI named "". When I hit cancel everything opens fine. I am also converting this from LabVIEW 6.1 to LabVIEW 7.Any suggestions?

Just try resaving your vi...perhaps with a different name. There is probably a subvi that is not exactly where it should be in your directory structure. Resaving it will "remind" your vi where to look for all the components

I am also converting this from LabVIEW 6.1 to LabVIEW 7.Thank you, but I have tried a Mass Compile. I have also tried to save the VI to another directory as a different name. The only thing that gets rid of this is completely rewriting the VI from scratch. This could prove to be a lot of work if there isn't another solution.

I have saved the LV 6.0.2 VIs in a folder named Version1 and its subfolders. I created a new folder named Version2 to hold the new VIs.

Starting from the VI/CTL lowest in the hirarchy I loaded it in LV7 from the original Version1 location. Then I saved it with "Save as..." in the new location. With VIs I wanted to delete something I loaded them from the old location, made the deletion and saved them in the new location. Then I closed LV to let it forget the paths from the old location. Now I could reload the VI again without the dialog asking for the VI named "".

I got the dialog always if I copied the VI to the new location with the Explorer and loaded it in LV 7 from the new location and deleted something in it.
I do not know if the effect is related only to globals because I deleted globals and subVIs.

I am also converting this from LabVIEW 6.1 to LabVIEW 7.This seems to work except that I've done an extensive amount of work on this program and would lose almost 2 weeks of work if I have to do that for all my subVIs that won't open properly.
