Thank you all for the input. I have a better understanding of the config files now. I am planning on distributing this to many computers. What would you recommend I use for the path of the config file? I know in Labview 2010 I could use the build path VI with the application directory VI and a default file name conecting to it. The problem is is that I can only build an exe on my Labview 7 express version and there isn't an application directory VI. Is there anything in LV 7 express that would be able to recognize where the exe is stored and look for the config file in that folder?

I would just stick it in the same folder as your .exe on the Program Files directory that it gets installed to. This path won't change from one system to the next.

I thought that at first but some people like to switch directories and I just might want to take that into account.

I don't know if LabVIEW 7 Express has the Get System Directory or not. If so you could use that.
