Library Name or Path -- can't change it!?

[BugBuster]

In the Call Library Function configuration dialog, I can change the Library Name or Path and save the file, but when I retrieve it, it didn't change! What's up with that?

I could not duplicate your problem in LabView 6 or 7. I was able to load your VI, change the path to the DLL, save the VI, exit LabView, reopen the VI, and see the path to the DLL as I modified it. Are you sure that you're loading the VI that you modified and saved? For example, if you have two copies of the VI in different directories, you could be modifying one copy, then to check it you could be opening a different copy by opening it from the diagram of a calling VI.

Make sure you first unload your dll from memory before retrieving it again by restarting LabVIEW.

Something like that, I guess. It worked for me this time too. It was Friday afternoon when I couldn't get this right. I must have been doing something wrong over and over and just didn't see it. Thanks, it is helpful to know that it *is* supposed to work that way.

I am having the same problem right now.  How did you fix this issue?  If you removed the dll from memory as the one post suggested, how did you do that?

Hi BugBuster,

I would advise having your dll in the same directory as your LabView VI. To remove the dll from memory, please refer to MSDN if it is a dll generated in Microsoft Visual Studio. If it is a LabView dll, I would just rebuild it and make the destination folder the same as the one that holds your VIs.
