Library Name or Path in Call Library Function keeps reverting back to old dll

[Neilelph]

Hi.

When using the Call Library Function Node, I find that when I change the Library Name or Path to a newer version of the DLL being called (in a different folder), it keeps reverting back to the previous path. I can't find a way around this.

To clarify, I have tried opening Labview (7.1 incidentally) with the code that contains the Call Library Function node, deleting the existing node, saving the vi and then shutting Labview down completely. I then re-open the vi, place a new Call Library Function Node into the vi, and set its Path to the new DLL I require. After making all the other settings, I OK the Call Function Window, but if I re-open it or try to run the vi, it has reverted back to the old Path and hence doesn't work.

Can anyone help?? This one is driving me nuts!

Cheers!

Hi Neil,

      It sounds like LabVIEW or "something" is loading the wrong dll - and once loaded, LabVIEW wants to use it.  What happens if you close LabVIEW and rename or "hide" the DLL then open/edit the VI in question?

Cheers!
