I have a set of CSV files which I need to read on the startup of my main VI or the executable built from my main VI and all its dependencies (Either under WIndows 7 or LabView RT). Effectively, I need to search for these CSV files in a programmatic search path such as: .\*.csv..\config\*.csv<project path>\config\ What is the recommended strategy for this and are there any VIs available for searching an arbitrary set of absolute and relative paths? Also, how would this be handled in an AB exe build (EX: Can resource files be enbedded in an EXE)? For LabView RT, I currently just have a deployed resource directory under c:\config. That works fine for RT, but it's a horrible way to do it on a Windows PC. Looking for a smarter approach. Thanks, XL600

You can get a list of project items:This application is not control, it is "VI server reference" constant From Application control Pallette with "This application" selected. Why does making snippet do this?
