No file dialog in execuatble

[sjmtech]

I have an urgent problem.  I have installed labview 8.0.1 in a new computer.  I mass compiled all filles.  The problem is, when I build an executable for a different machine, the executable SKIPS THE FILE DIALOG BOX.  The VI just ends.  I recall something about needing to press ctrl+run when recompiling old VIs (which I did) but I need some quick help on this one.

Hi anstech,

what is your code like?

anstech,

I was able to successfully build a VI with just the file dialog VI.  Can you build an EXE with just the file dialog VI?  I assume that your VI does work when you run it in through LabVIEW, correct?  I was able to build and run your VI and received a file dialog when I did so.  If you want to recompile the VI you can always press Ctrl+Shift and click the Run button.  Have you tried using the Debuggable EXE option?  I would suggest trying this if you haven't already, that way you can keep track of the data with probes/highlight execution.  Let me know how this goes. 

Thanks!

AHA!!! ctrl PLUS shift and run, I only pressed ctrl run.  I'll try that tomorrow and let you know if it worked. (Hardware unavailable today)

THANKS
