Problems when I copy my VI to another directory

[EKrille]

Hello!

I have problem when I copy my Main Vi to another directory. It is included in the program to have a template main that I duplicate. When I have copied my Vi to another directory direct under the template directory it has problems to find subvi´s that are included in the main VI. The subvi´s are included in the same folder as the template VI. Is it possible to set in the template main VI where to look for the subvi included, independent where I copy it?

Please help!!

Sure. There is a file path "constant" that will return the current VI's path. Use this, then strip off what you don't need with strip path and add in the new parts with build path.

Hope that this helps,
Bob

Hello!

I understand how to get the current patch and change it. But how do feed the new path back into the Vi configuration?

I'm not sure I understand your question.
When are you copying the VI? During Runtime?
Are you calling it dynamically at all?
In the Paths page of the Options menu you can define Constant paths to search in and relative paths, but you should consider the fact that if the VI isn't found where it's supposed to be, it will take a while before it's found.

If this didn't help, please post more details about what you're trying to do, preferably with an example VI.

Hello!

What is the status regarding this issue, is it something that still needs assistance or have you been able to solve it yourself?

I cannot see any example program from you like the previous poster asked for.

Please update us here if possible!
