Vi converted to LabView 7.0 Error

I converted an application from LabView 6.02 to 7.0, and the conversion is fine.
However, when one particular vi is opened, Labview 7.0 asks and searches for the vi named ""
I continue (press ignore vi), and the vi is loaded .
I saved the vi, opened it again , and still get the same message. It is annoying.

I solved the problem by copying the block diagram of the vi to a new vi and then saved the new vi. The saved vi, if opened does not produce the message anymore (good news)
Attached is the vi (_stop.vi) with no block diagram. Open it to see the message displayed

Reduplicated your problem... pretty messed up. I have no idea why it does that. I deleted everything in the VI and it still gives the error so it must be something in the LV conversion process that got messed up. Perhaps someone with more insight into the internal workings of LV would be able to address this.

Hello Dr. Imad,

The workaround for this bug is exactly what you have done, copying the contents of the block diagram into a new VI. I would be happy to report this to R&D, however, I will need the LabVIEW 6.0.2 version of your VI with the block diagram.

Hi Dr. Imad,

another workaround is described here. Search for my answer. This is a conversion bug in LV 7.0 and the workaround is first load it into LV 7.0 then save it into the new location and then make your changes.
