file path after build application (.exe)

[josua@kt]

hi all,

i have finished my programming and want to create a .exe application. After i do the following step from the tutorial, i find there is just one "data" folder exist and all files(.txt, .csv etc.) are located in it. 

Could anyone tell me if the files in the data folder are just one copy or the original? if original, is it possible to keep the folder as before? otherwise i need to create sub folder to split all files since they belong to different folder and different vi...

thanks

Hi Josua,

That's the default place to store data files for an app!

Could anyone tell me if the files in the data folder are just one copy or the original?

They are copies…

if original, is it possible to keep the folder as before?

Either change your build settings to put the files in the right place. Or create a VI called in the INIT state of your executable to put those files into their places…

hi GerdW,

Thanks for your reply!

They are copies…

I also heard that the originals are built in the app, but i could not read my files(not from "data" folder) as non-built before....
