external component changed

[uzoyabuzo]

Hi all,

Could anyone help me on this ?

When opening this VI (see attachement) on one computer it says that the VI was changed (external component changed) and that I have to save it. When I save it and open the VI again on a second computer, LabView outputs the same message, an external component has changed... so I have to save it... Back on the frist computer same message again... etc...

I still don't know what's the 'external component' that changes from one computer to another... and how to find it.

Thanks in advance for any help or hint...

Hi,

This could be to do with the path of the references you are using, if they are not the same on both PC's then it will have to change the field and then ask you to save.

OK, but how could I know what's the path that is changing ? This is not a sub-VI that it's stored at different places. Usually I use libraries and the VI's are always loaded from the same path... But in this case it's not a sub vi but an 'external component'... I just don't know where to search....

Thanks.

In the first picure you posted i can see the path of it? Just check that they are the same for both machines.

Ok, this is one of these VI's that have an external component changing...

As I said Before, when I open this Vi in two different computers, LabView tels me each time that an external component has changed and that I have to save it. I don't know what is the external component changing... how to find it ?

Thanks.
