Modal message popup is causing TestStand ActiveX error

[Christine]

When I execute a modal Message Popup step, I get the following error:

ActiveX Error
sCode = 0xffffbba4
Source: TSAPI
Description: Could not connect to TestStands TSSync server.

If the Message Popup is not modal, the sequence executes just fine.

I am making the Message Popup modal by selecting the "Make Modal" option.

There is a call to TS_StartModalDialogEx function in the \API\CVI\tsutil.c file which in turn calls into the engine. The engine needs the sync server to implement the modality. I would assume that the file \bin\TSSync.dll is missing or not registered. You can register the dll by running "regsvr32.exe \bin\TSSync.dll". See if this fixes your problem.

TSSync.dll was missing. Great job! Thank you!
