Client does not have access to specified VI

[Eric_LZ]

I use web server to remote access vi running on the server computer (myrp.vi in myproject.lvproj). When I set the visible vi as "*", there's no problem. But once I set it to "myproject.lvproj/My Computer/myrp.vi", I get the message "Client does not have access to specified VI".

Also, when I try to add visible vi programmatically as the attached pic show, it did nothing. If I changed the string to "+myrp.vi", it worked fine but still get the same message.

Can any1 help to figure it out? Thanks.

p.s. I'm using labview 2011 pro

Anybody has any idea?

Hey Eric LZ,

Have you tried adding the VI to the permissions list without the directory path for example test.vi.  I supsect this is causing your issue.  I would also make sure that the server is enabled both with the client and the server.

Actually, I tried use "myrp.vi" directly without directory first. it did not wor, then I searched online and found the following document, 

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/adding_new_visible_vis_en/

but still didn't work.

now I'm using "*myrp.vi" as temp solusion.

Thanks.

Hey Eric,

So even when you structure the path like this: MyProject.lvproj/My Computer/MyVI.vi you get the vi cannot be found error but when you just use a wild card before the name it works fine?

[Eric_LZ]

yes, for a VI resides in a project, neither "MyVI.vi" or "MyProject.lvproj/My Computer/MyVI.vi" did not work, but "*MyVI.vi" worked fine.
