"function icon doesn't work"

I using the Labview Database Connectivity Toolset with Labview 8.5 Developer Suite.  When I click to add the "Database Variant to Data" function to my function window, my cursor doesn't turn into the hand symbol and Windows (XP) simply dings.  With context help on, it shows ??? for a title when I hold my cursor over the "Database Variant to Data" icon.  I tried reinstalling my toolsets but that didn't fix it.  Is there some way to fix this in my functions menu?  For now, I found this function in one of the examples and was able to copy it into my VI.

Do you have more than 1 version of LabView on that machine? You could try uninstalling the toolkit and then reinstalling.

Hi GerdW! 

I was going to say "windows simply dings and I silently curse" but I thought that might be redundant ....  Smiley Very Happy
