Hello,
Let's say I have one .vi in some folder. Is there any option in LV to show me lost of which all .vi call my .vi. I must know that because if I move for example this .vi, it will searching for missing .vi....
thanks

You can find callers within a project. There is no way to do that outside of a project.

so if I don't have it as "project"(just main .vi) then I can't know what is included?

View>>VI Hierarchy
Play with it some lots of good things to look at very nice for finding callees-
Finding all callers takes a different, but simillar, approach
Without a "Project" you need some other structure that holds all your vis so you can browse relationships. This is commonly called a "Tree.vi" by viewing the heirarchy of Each Tree.vi (Or, I once saw a "Forest.vi"- it had a lot of Trees in it) you can find all callers within any "Scope" or "Tree"

You need a project if you want to find "callers" of a VI. If you want to see "callees" you can use the view hierarchy.

There's also the Save As... -> Duplicate Hierarchy option, which will copy everything that your VI requires into another directory, maintaining the relative directory structure.
