I'm running an old version of LabVIEW (LV7.1) on my PC (I have no choice - I have to maintain this one application in this specific legacy version, due to maintiaining consistency with another plant running the same app). Anyway, we are running it on a Win 7 (64-bit) Office 2010 PC. I'm gettting errors related to database connectivity, so I just created a new VI, just to take a look at the db connectivity by itself. When I create a brand new VI, and just drop the DB Tools Open Connection.vi function into it, I get an error "SubVI 'DB Tools Open Connec (String).vi': subVII is not executable". After digging down, I get a "No properties" error on the Property Node. If I click on the connection string, I get "No Properties". Any ideas?

I am trying to remember but i think in newer versions of Windows (especially 64bit), the ADODB library was modified, which broke all of the database VI's in older versions of LabVIEW. I would recommend going back to an older version of Windows if you must continue using LV7.1
