Hi h.sepah,

Once you build the executable, it cannot be modified. Any values, properties, etc. that you change while the executable is running, will not be preserved when it is closed. Many applications have some kind of a configuration file which they read parameters from when the program starts and write parameters to when the program ends. You decide what it is in the config file and what your code does with it. LabVIEW ships with "Configuration File VIs" that use text files. I like MGI's read / write anything VIs which take a cluster as an input and output.
