square brackets

[the_intern]

If my VI used to be called xxx.vi and now whenever I open it, it opens as following [xxx.vi] and I get (I think) coded VI. How do I go back to original and open it without brackets?

[PJS]

right click on the the FP icon of the opened VI, select properties --> windows appearance.
It seems that the VI has a blank name in the title bar.  It is still xxx.vi on disk, but the title bar would be blank when it executes.

That did not help.

[PJS]

did you check the box the says "same as VI Name" and click OK?
can you post the VI in question?

[the_intern]

Okay, now I lost the brackets [xxx.vi], which is good. But I still get the coded VI, instead of icons. If you dont know what I am talking about I would send it to you.

[PJS]

Sorry, I do not know what you mean by the 'coded vi'.  If you could post a screen shot it would be most helpful.

Do you mean you are getting the block diagram showing up on execution instead of the front panel? Is that what you meant by the coded vi?

[the_intern]

I attached the VI. The problem is in block diagram...

[PJS]

Is this NOT what you are seeing?
