code works until I build exe

[RTSLVU]

Have you tried compiling with debugging enabled and using the remote debugger? 

The remote debugger allows you to run the exe on your target system and follow along in the block diagram on your development station, so you can see where your exe is hanging.

Not yet...thanks for bringing it up earlier, I didn't know it existed...I will try that now.

Search in help for "Building and Distributing Applications" and read the section on Debugging Applications and Shared Libraries to see how to use the remote debuger

Gee, I somehow missed your statement on this thread that you are now trying to run the exe on the same pc. Can you highlight where you originally started that?

First post, point number 2.

Sorry, you are correct. I had the coworker mention from your original post stuck in my head.
