Building and application

When building an application I keep getting a dialog box with the message

 

The VI NI_FileType.lvlib:Get File Type.vi has changed on disk since last saved or loaded by LabVIEW. If you load its front panrl, it will probably be inconsistent with the parts of the VI already in memery, resulting in a corrupt VI.

 

along with a Revert and Cancel button. I can find no reference to this dialog box. I do not have called a VI Get File Type and the application runs fine. Any help with understanding this dialog box will be approciated.

Are you sure this VI is not part of your project?  Look in your Dependencis in Project Explorer (right-click, Find Project Items) and do a search.  Check if there is a warning indication for this file.  This VI is probably being called from another built-in VI, something LV adds based on the VIs used in your program.  You won't notice them until something like this happens, but they are part of your project (Ex. just like iostream is if included in a C++ program, right?).

Thanks for the help. There actually was nothing under dependencies so I did a refresh which took care of the problem.

Just as an FYI the file Get File Type.vi was not in the dependencies so I'm not sure why it was creating a problem.
