global variables

[Markus Manninger]

Hi,

I wrote two VI's which communicate via global variables. This works fine
when i let both run but if i create two binaries (exe files) this would
not work anymore. Does enybody know why? Is there a special point i have
to care when i create the exe files?

Are you trying to share data between two different applications?

Globals are only globally available within the executable, they cannot be accessed directly from other applications. To do that you need to create a communication link between them (tcp/ip, dde etc. are available alternatives).
