using save for previous option

[Daveton]

I am trying to save a library written in labview 7 to labview 6.1 and am getting the error "Cannot save VI from VI.LIB to previous version". How do I get around this?

You don't need to.

The VI.LIB folder contains VIs that are part of the system.

LabVIEW 6.1 has its own VI.LIB folder with all those VIs in it, unless:
1... You have an add-on toolkit in 7 that you don't own in 6.1

OR

2... You put your own VIs into the VI.LIB folder (always a bad idea).

Also the diagrams for some of the core VIs may have been accidentally stripped. Consider a reinstall

If you're using functions that don't exist in 6.1, then you'll get this message and either have to rewrite the 7.0 version to not use them or find a way to get the same functionality in the 6.1 version.
