You are asking people here where your company keeps its source code? That makes no sense.

[sandy1234]

no the situation is different... the system supplier is not there now and the entire contract is finished as I dont have much idea on labview executables I posted this query.

Asking here about where another company might keep its source code doesn't make any sense either. Quite frankly, if you are so clueless as to LabVIEW, you probably aren't qualified to make any changes even when you do find the code.

Executables are like any other exe. You have the compiled program. You dot have the source code. You're hoping to reverse compile the executable to get the vi. This isn't something you can do. If you're lucky, it's a debug gable executable. But, that also means you had a poor developer. You need the source code, not the executable, to make any changes.

When you realize that, you'll understand why the situation is exactly what was described to you. You're asking us where your company,for contractor, keeps the source code. We don't have any chance to answer this for you. You'll need to ask your company to find this answer.

Contact the contractor.  I'm sure they would be happy to draw up a maintenence contract.  Truthfully, that's probably the only way you would get access to the source code.

In my experience, if company A contracts with company B for company B to write a program, then the contract states that company A will receive the source code that they paid for. If that's not in the contract, shame on company A.

The OP claims to be a CLAD. Rather pathetic if this is indicative of what having a CLAD means.

I don't remember any application builder questions on the CLAD.

Although, let's be fair.  There are enough sample CLAD exams available that you should walk into the test knowing the answer to ~50% of the questions.  That means you only need to get 40% of the remaining questions right.  That's only twice what you'd expect from random guessing.  I'd expect most people that work with LabVIEW could pass the CLAD if they wanted to.

It is not about "any application builder questions on the CLAD", but rather the lack of problem solving skills.

The same problem has been sitting unsolved for nearly a year. Why hire this guy?
