Problem reading/writing disk files with standalone application

[sunnymax2002]

Hi all

I've developed a VI which works fine when run through IDE. It is able to read / write the disk files just fine. However, when i build it as a standalone EXE, its working fine except being able to read / write the disk files. Please help in this regard, and suggest where the problem is and how can it be solved.

I'm using Windows XP and LabVIEW 6.0

Thanks a lot

A common mistake that people make when first creating an exe is that they don't take into account that paths are slightly different afterward. If you use the Current VI's Path function in development mode, the path might be something like c:\folder\example.vi. When built, the path will be c:\folder\app.exe\example.vi. So, to get to the folder, you have to do an extra strip path. You should modify your VI to use the appplication property App.Kind. If it returns Run Time System, do the extra strip path with a case statement.

What sort of error do you get?

You ARE monitoring the ERROR output of the file functions, aren't you?
