express sub vi is not executable

[jimstew]

I have just started using LV 7. I am using the vi 'build text' which I believe is an express vi (it has a blue border and if you double click it you get a configuration dialog). I have an error "sub-vi 'build text': sub-vi is not executable". Normally I am able to double-click the sub-vi to find its errors, but with an express vi I cannot. How can I find out why the sub-vi is not executable?

You can right click on the express vi and select open front panel but this will convert the express vi into a regular vi and allow you to edit it. The problem is that you cannot convert the subvi back to an express vi once you have done this. I am thinking that you might of configured it wrong, do you have any example code? If you dropped it from the palette and then placed it down there shouldn't be a problem. The only restriction with this is that you cannot have more than 8 variables. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information. I have solved my problem by deleting the corrupt sub-vi and dropping on a new one. I did nothing differently but it works fine now. Must have been a glitch.
