I took a look into the issue a bit further, and this was reported to R&D (# 3SJ98F73) and was fixed in LabVIEW version 8.2. I initially tested the behavior with 8.2, which worked fine as posted, but when testing in 8.0.1, the behavior is precisely as you describe.
You can download and install LabVIEW 8.2 side-by-side with 8.0, and we have the software available for download on
this page on the ni.com website. The software comes with a 30-day license, so you can verify that it meets your needs. Of course, if you have an active
SSP account with your LabVIEW license, upgrades are free of charge.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance!
