viserver & project

[BradCarman]

I am developing a distributed application in LabVIEW 8.X which uses VIserver, and the technique worked well in LV 7.X.  One of the examples on the LabVIEW installation illustrates my problems (connpolling.llb).  Without going through the LabVIEW project, "connpolling.llb\VI Server Connection Polling Target.vi" & "connpolling.llb\Manual VI Server Connection Polling.vi" work well (I'm using just one PC, and have 127.0.0.1 as the "Target Machine Name").  If I include these VIs in a LabVIEW (8.2 or 8.5) project, I get "Error 1004 occurred at Open VI Reference in Manual VI Server Connection Polling.vi".

Any help is greatfully appreciated.

Each project has it's own VI server (application instance). If you want to access VIs within a project, configure VI server in the project properties (My computer). You'll have to use a different port than the main LabVIEW application instance so you can open an application reference to the project.

Hope this helps,
