subvi running normal when alone but not inside main vi

I'm afraid that's about all I can do without seeing your proprietary stuff, but Ray or Mike will probably still be able to help.

I too thought it was (and probably is) a race condition...

Here is a little trick you can try..

Go into VI property.  Go into Window Appearance and select Customize.

Put a checkmark at "Show Front Panel when Called" and a checkmark at "Close Afterwards if originally closed"

Run your VI.  If it is better, then maybe you need to put some additional delay...  Humm... although I don't like delays..   😮

Yeah, that seems like it would be masking the problem instead of solving it, which means it could show up somewhere later and be just as confusing

[Ray.R]

Totally agree, but when you can't see the code, that's about as much as we can do to pinpoint what type of problem there is.

Maybe it's something else.. Something we can't see..

You see? 😉

lol

Yeah, the best I can guess is make sure all your VIs enforce dataflow

Well i thought of doing it as last option. But still as per suggestion, i will have to follow it.

I had used more more and more delays. But no use.

I will post if i found the things work.....

Did I understand correctly that opening the front panel when called didn't help?

In that case, the problem may well be elsewhere.

Is this the same project that contains Co1.vi & doctor.vi?

Dear JLV,

Opening the fp when called helped really. It works fine. The problem now is when creating exe, error popups. I explained in a seperate thread. Follow this link.

Thanks,

OK... now makes sense....  got confused 😉

Glad it works.
