Separate Compiled Code from source disabled, why?

[Mark_Yedinak]

I have run into an issue and would like to know if there is a reason it happens or is this a bug. Basically we separate the compiled code from all of our source to make working with source code control more efficient. I have run into an issue where some files have the option grayed out and disabled. The option to separate the compiled code is disabled and the ability to change this setting itself is disabled. The option cannot be changed using scripting either. The strange thing though is if you copy all of the code in the block diagram and paste it into a new VI the option can be changed on the new VI. Is there a reason that this option becomes disabled? Is this simply some type of corruption of the original files that prevents it? Is this a bug?

I am currently working with LV 2011.

I saw the same thing with one of my VIs.  Coincidentally, it was my main VI.  Also in LabVIEW 2011, Windows 7 64-bit.

I did manage to get it checked using the project properties.  Not sure if it actually did anything though.

The option gets disabled if you have express VI in the code, i.e., delay time.

That's likely the issue with mine.  File Dialog Express VI.

The offending VIs do have Express VIs (delay or dialog box) in them. This appears to be the issue.
