Jacob,
I built an executable to a shared network drive here, and did not experience this behavior. I am using LabVIEW 6.0.2 with Windows 98. Are you running the latest version of LabVIEW? If not, I recommend you install the 6.0.2 update (if you're running LabVIEW 6) to see if the behavior still occurs.
Let me know if you're still having the problem, and we'll investigate further. Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a good day.
Sincerely,
Darren Nattinger
