sub vi stuck behind main app

I don't know if this has anything to do with upgrading to LV9, but...

 

I have several sub vi's that are accessible from the main app, I call them Bench Tests. When selected, they popup in front of the main app and stay there until closed. Now, one Bench Test hat I've been updating, has the fatal flaw of opening behind the main, and both the sub vi and main app are disabled.

 

The really strange thing is that it does this only on the compiled application, not in development. Works fine in development.

 

It's never done this before, the other bench tests are fine, and I can't see that any of the node setups or other window execution parameters have changed or are different from the other bench tests.

 

Another thing I notice about that the sub vi is that even though I set it up as a dialog box in the Window Appearance section, when it fails in the compiled program and comes up behind the main app it still has the abort button (and other items) but they are disabled. see jpeg.

I'm not sure what the problem may be, but if you put this on the subVI block diagram it should act as a workaround at least.  untitled.PNG

Never mind!

 

The build properties destination directory changed (automatically while I changed the build name, and I didn't notice it)

 

All of my revisions were faithfully being implimented to program not pointed at by the shortcut on my desktop!
