disable execute on startup

[Joseph Jankowski]

Sirs,

How do I stop a VI from running when I open it.  I wrote a VI that runs on startup when you open the *.vi file.  I think I selected this option from the file menu in the vi properties menu.

However, I also have the VI automatically close after the VI stops.  As a result, I cannot edit the program.  Do you know of any special open options where I could open it without running the VI, or prevent it from closing when I ececute it?

Or do I have to start over?

I use Labview 7.1.

Thank you,

Joe

Open a fresh, empty VI and place your problem VI on the diagram. Now open it by double clicking and it will open in edit mode.

Modify the run options as needed, then resave the VI. 😄

The quickest way to fix this is to drop this VI as a subVI into a new VI.  Then you can open it and change the properties to be what you would like.

Hope that this helps,

Than you very much.  That worked.
