auto search file path

[UofArk]

Me and another coworker has been collaborating for the past few weeks trying to create a GUI for our project. Here and there we exchange VIs and incorporate each other's work together.

We have a lot of file paths that we have to fill in everytime we combine our work and its time consuming and pain in the ass. We both have copies of the files and my question is,

Is there than easie way to fill in these file paths without having to go through our directories every time?

Maybe like an auto search or something.
I would appreciate any suggestion or answer. Thank you.

Do you mean that when he opens, works on something and saves it.  Then when you open it, it spends a lot of time searching for subVI's?

How are you swapping files back and forth?  If you and he each have the project files saved in a directory path structure that is common for each PC  (e.g. "C:\OurProject\...."  you shouldn't have any problems with have to relocate subVI's.

If two people are working on a project at the same time and sharing files, it is probably a good idea to look at a source code control system.
