What do you mean by VI server? Property and invoke nodes? If I remember right there aren't too many questions on the VI server because that's getting more advanced when you are talking about calling VIs dynamically, etc. But, that was also 2 years ago so I don't remember perfectly.

It's nice to know that I am not the only one unfamiliar with the term. Here is what NI has to say on the matter:

Woah woah woahhhh now; I'm not unfamiliar with the term. I use VI server almost every day at work ...It just covers a very broad array of things, so just saying VI server doesn't give much direction. What specifically don't you understand about it?

Oops. Sorry. Misread your original post.
Sadly, my ignorance of the general subject leaves me unable to answer more specific questions about the details of the question.
I am educating myself, albeit slowly, on the matter. But if anyone can help me by suggesting study material, I would appreciate it. Maybe I can use the questions you ask in your original post as pointers to concepts I should master.
Thanks,

From what I remember of the CLAD (4 years ago), there was maybe 1 or 2 questions with anything close to VI Server. If you know how to use a property node to manipulate a control (set value, visible, enabled), you will be fine.

Seriously?! Am I making simple things complicated again? If it is that easy, then I should be fine. Thanks!

I have posted two examples that use VI server.
The other two areas of interest re:VI Server is the ability to run a VI one one node from another (called from a windows app executes on RT for example) It alos works across process conexts. Search the LV help for that one.
There was also an new method added in 2011 taht allows the VIs to ve run asyncrounsly so look under new features to read about that.
Have fun,
Ben

Thanks, Ben. It will take me a while to work through the examples you post, but they look like they will be extremely helpful.
