Application program call up

[Mong1995]

Hi,

I have a program done which uses open VI reference function to call up a VI, but when make it into application, it won't call up. It does not show the abc.exe in the build specification so I cannot include in the project file. the abc.exe is in a folder of GraphVIs. I am new to this, kindly let me know if I don't provide enough info.

You cannot use a path to the executable.  You need a path to the VI you want to call that is inside of the executable.  The simpler method is to not use a path, but instead use the VI's name (as a string) wire it up to the VI Path input on the Open VI Reference.  It will then do a look up for a VI with that logical name.  Just make sure you put this dynamically called VI into the "Always Include" section of the build specification.
