Hello Everybody,

Anyone can please help me in Labview 8.0 code?

I want to know How to Create a Drop-down list Menu for a list of MS-Word files and select the MS-Word files from that list either by clicking or entering the file number or code number for MS_Word file

and when i select the MS_Word file the corresponding file path is displayed in a textbox and a new VI is opened.

If anyone could post the code, thanks.
