mathcad in LabVIEW 8.0; type problem

[Sierra]

In labview 7.1 we used libraries from here to connect LabVIEW to Mathcad (version 12). Now, with 8.0 these libraries don't work anymore. Looking into why not, I found that a type in a reference was changed from a string to a void.

You can find the place by opening the simple example and double clicking the "Mathcad open" icon in the block diagram (or by placing the mathcad open vi anywhere and double clicking it), going to the block diagram, double clicking the "Mathcad open file" icon, and going to the block diagram.

This is a little beyond me - how can a type suddenly change between versions? If anyone could help explain why this is happening or - even better - how to fix it, I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks,

Paul

PS Mathscript won't help, as we have a large, complicated mathcad file which cannot be imported in MathScript, and we need to export this vi to a .exe .

Could you attact a screen dump of this diagram? I tried the library but mine is broken because I don't have MadCad and there does not seem to be a trail version available to try it out.

You could also try and recreate the property node with the issue?

Thanks

Thanks for the response.

Here, a screenshot. The arrows indicate where I double clicked to get to that subVI.

By the way, I asked a question about these libraries before. See this.
