Retrieving VI's from a previous Labview Application

[KevinO298]

I am new to Labview and am wondering is there any way to over write an existing project and its VI's from just a previous application  (Labview Build) which I have backed up??

If I understand you correctly, no, you cannot retrieve the source VIs from within a built executable. You will need the original project/VIs to be able to modify the code and then rebuild the application.

This is the reason it is very important to have some sort of source control in any programming language!

No, a compiled exe removes things like the block diagram, you'll need the old source code.

Cheers.  

I hate located my problem as to why emails werent sending. I keep getting "Not a Path" and error 7.

Any ideas how to fix this as i have used to correct path?

Remove the directory separator from before 'data' in the path. It should be "data\TBIMon.ini" instead of "\data\TBIMon.ini"
