How can I run a labview 7.2 vi in labview 8.2

We have several versions of labview running different test and control functions in our facility. There are labview 7.2 VIs in a production setting I wish to reproduce in the test lab. Can I convert them to run on 8.2 or do I have to recreate them in 8.2. I tried to open one in 8.2 and got multiple SubVI's that were not in my program library.. most dealing with AI manipulation.

You can load them into a new version of LabVIEW as long as you have all of the drivers installed. It sounds like you did not re-install traditional DAQ after you installed the latest version of LabVIEW. You might want to think about doing some re-writes though, anyway. The latest driver for DAQ hardware is called DAQmx.

And make sure you have backup copies of your 7.x code. Once you load and save in 8.2, it is a lot of work to get them back to 7.x.

Note I used 7.x because I am unaware of LabVIEW version 7.2 even existing. 7.1.1 was the last release prior to 8.0
