Compiling gets error 7 and all my strings revert

[Will_Labutsikt]

Hi, I am updating some inherited code. It contains references to paths that no longer exist (mainly drives on the network).

So i go through the program, and i exchange every faulty path (from the old M:\ or P:\ to the C:\ of my laptop).

When i run the program from labview, this works fine.

However, when i compile, the program reverts to the old paths and yields error 7 when i run the *.exe.

The paths are strings in textboxes (controls).

I have tried checking the "include files as library" option in the build specification.

Any ideas? Im using Labview 2012 and the original program is from an older version.

Hey,

did you set the values in the controls to default or just change the values?

If just changed, mark the new values as default with Right Click  on the control -> Data Operations -> Make current value default
