saving global variables in an executable

[Oxford - Physiology]

Hi,

I would like to use variables to retain set values during an execution so that they are there when the program is re-opened. I've used global variables in a front panel only vi, which works fine when the vi is run inside labview but when I build the executable, the globals do not save... reverting to their original default values. Is there a trick to how you add the globals vi to the project build or am I barking up the wrong tree completely.

Many thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Andrew

This topic has been discussed several time - just search for "set current values default" or similar expressions.

Just to give you another idea - why not use configuration files?
