how to convert labviw 6.1 file to labview 7.0

I would like to edit my program created in Labview 6.1 in Labview 7.0.  I no longer have the 6.1 version software.
 
thanks

If you have LabVIEW 7.0, then just open the old VI.Smiley Wink

It should open just fine in LV 7. If not, are you not getting all the subvi's? I've had this happen, but I don't know why - LV is supposed to look in it's own directory for the proper library locations Smiley Surprised You open a vi written in an older version of LV with a newer version and it gets 'lost' searching for subvi's in the older library location. Simply use 'browse' while the code is searching and redirect manually to the newer location of libraries. It's usually under the same heiarchy structure under the newer version of LV. I hope that helps. If after everything loads OK then save all before you exit. It will save the new locations so you don't have to do the whole browse thing the next time you load it.

As Paul & Dennis have mentionned.

You can also do a Mass Compile, using LV7.  Simply point to the folder containing the vi's.
