Nope - I thought of that, but the application wasn't running.
I also got this error on the first time I tried to build it.
My conclusion is that my directory hierarchy was too long.
"Maximum" called a sub-Vi which called another sub-VI and this last one already had a folder name that was too long.
I moved to c:/labview and everything builds with no problems
thanks for all those who helped!
And please help me promote "the LabVIEW challenge" in the NI Idea Exchange!
