upgrade issues with regard to LW 8.5 and DB toolkit 1.0.1

Hi!

After I did an upgrade from LW 8.2.1 to LW 8.5 the database toolkit 1.0.1 is not working. The only VI accessable in the menu is the variant to data.vi   and my own developed vi suddenly got a broken arrow and are not executable.

It seems like the other package from the Internet toolkit 6.0 is working, so the DB failure is strange. Do you have any ideas or similar experience, please let me know, I desperatly need to fix this problem.

Did you reinstall the toolkit after your upgrade? That is something that you typically have to do.

All the toolkits install all screwed up when you have multiple versions of labview on the same PC.  Usually you have to uninstall them and reinstall them or something like that, I forget exactly.  But all the toolkits are totally unmaintained by NI, they have three different types of installers so all the switches are different, and they love to uninstall themselves from 7.1 instead of install themselves on 8.2... stuff like that.  You can get them right if you put some time into it.

By the way, the database toolkit no longer saves variants to a database from labview 8.0 and later.  It looks like it does, but 8.0 and later changed the variant type and the toolkit no longer saves them properly.  If you need to save variants to a database you need to figure out some other way of doing it.
