Problem building exe with dynamic vi

[ATMA]

Hi Jeff, thanks for clearing my name

Yes, it was the path. Managed to resolve it. But it's strange though, why is it does the path have problems when it was working perfectly during VI development? Is it some kind of bug of something during exe conversion?

relative paths are different in exes since there is an additional level of path stripping for the exe.  Not a bug but something to remember when building an exe.

This is a common problem that has been solved in a number of ways.  My favorite way is to create a VI which resides in the directory of the dynamic VIs.  This VI is called statically by the main program.  It only returns its location; I use the current VI path primitive and strip it once.  Dynamic VI paths are constructed relative to the static VI path.  When you build your executable, make sure the statically called VI is placed in the same location as the dynamic VIs.  Then your code will work in both cases with no further attention.

Thanks for the tip DF, i'll try that.
