I have a VI the reads a data file. When I build an application and transfer the application to another computer the default directory is no longer valid. Is there anyway to allow the user to establish a default directory for the file read on his computer or does he always have to go through multiple levels to find the file every time he restarts the application?
There is an initialization file (projectname.ini) that is created with your application (build for the application). You can define your default locations there. Note, you will need to configure the builder to use your file.
