I recently found out about a neat way to open vi references in labview by using the static vi reference. Today I tried to open an app in 8.5 and couldn't because of a whole bunch of bugs and problems with labview 8.5. Then when I looked at the 8.5 known issues page I saw:
| 4CKERKC3 |
Building an application that contains a VI that has a static VI reference to itself throws Error 7
Building an application that contains a VI that has a static VI reference to itself fails throwing the following errors: "LabVIEW cannot find a file that is a dependency of a Startup, Exported, or Always Included VI. File Not Found: The missing file might be referenced by one of the libraries included in the build or by the file - test.vi." or "Error 7 LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer."
Workaround—Don't use static VI referece, instead use the Open VI ref prim, passing it the the Current VI path constant.

Now I am very worried. If this didn't work right in labview 8.5, does it work right in labview 8.2? Is there a way to search for static references in a project? I realize now that it is a new feature and I should have never used it. But now I can't rememeber all teh places I used it. Any suggestions?
