Hi i continued this thread because it was the same problem just 5 years on, so i thought rarther than add another thread to the list, it would make sence to continue the same discussion. I did know the location of the search but unfortunatly the first dozen times i tried to search for it it came up dry, i used the internal windows search in the end to find all VI with a simular name and then i found it renamed, can you rename a core VI?
All in all i've got it working now. Huzzah!
many thanks to all who've helped.
