convert a VI and its SUB VI's into previous version

Hi,

 I want to know whether we can save a perticular VI into its previous version includeing saving all the sub VIs used by that VI into its previous version. I have installed Labview 8.5 in my PC. But  a friend of mine has 8.2. I want to senda VI to him but when i convert the VI into 8.2, it converts only that VI but not its sub VIs. I want to know is there any way thatwe can convert the main VI as well as the sub VIs used by the main VI at  a time into the previus version.

That's odd. When you do a File->Save For Previous Version for a top-level VI it's supposed to go through and save all the subVIs as well. Every time I've tried it it has always done this. Are you doing something else for the save?

"When you do a File->Save For Previous Version for a top-level VI it's supposed to go through and save all the subVIs as well."

Does this include dynamically called vi's or could that be the problem?

No, it does not include dynamically called VIs since those, technically, are not subVIs. If the "subVIs" the poster is referring to are actually dynamically called subVIs, then that's the reason for it. In this case it's best to deal with a project, as that will (should) contain all the VIs. In the project explorer select the project and then select File->Save for Previous Version.

I don't think you were hijacking the thread. Your comment/question seemed quite appropriate. Smiley Wink

Actually i was calling two subVI's dynamically, probably that is the problem. I will try to take as a project and then convert it as previous version.
