Source Safe causing LabVIEW Quick Start Screen to not appear after closing open vi windows?

[Drewski]

Hey All,

We've recently implemented Source Safe version control for LabVIEW on XP and I've noticed that LabVIEW is hanging between closing open vi windows and showing the Quick Start Screen.  The usual pattern is for the Quick Start window to appear after the last open vi window is closed.  Instead the vi window is closed, the tab at the bottom of the screen says debug development and the Quick Start Screen does not appear, the tab does not read "Getting Started."

I think it is a LabVIEW <--> Source Safe issue when I do a Task Manager Exit on the LabVIEW process that I sometimes see a dialog box asking if I want to save changes in memory to disc and those files are not checked out.  But it is too late at that point to do anything as XP clobbers the application before I can do anything.

Anyone else have this issue?

What LabVIEW version do you use?
I have used SourceSafe in every version from 8.0, and in the way some bugs are resolved.

Sorry, LabVIEW 8.2, Source Safe 2005, XP Service Pack 2.

Drewski,

How are you opening these VIs?  Are you opening LabVIEW first then opening the VI (thus checking them out), or are you opening the VI directly before LabVIEW?

Also, when you do close the VIs are they successfully checked back in?
