file permission error

[anilgunay]

Hi,

I use Labview version 8.2 on windows 7. I receive a file permission error when I try to open my program. 

On the other hand, when I open the file from another account on the same computer, it works without any error.

I tried to change the permission settings from the file properties but it does not allow me to give the creator owner full control.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Hi,

This is a Windows problem and not a LabView one.

You should try to change the rights for the user (using administrator account).

Or simply create a Work folder on the drive and avoid using Program Files or private folders like Documents and Settings\User.

Good morning!

Paul is right. This is a Windows problem. However, I would try creating a blank VI in the account you want to access the VI, opening the VI in the account it will allow you to open it, copying the code, and pasting it in the blank VI.

Just as a side note: LabVIEW 8.2 is not officially supported with Windows 7. This doesn't mean it won't work, it just means we recommend upgrading to at least LabVIEW 2009 to ensure you get full support. Here is a Windows-LabVIEW compatibility chart:
