vi with 'show diagram' and other controls grayed out

[liz2]

Two of my vi's are acting differently - many features are grayed out. The Vi Properties Security tab shows the Locked (no password) option is selected. All the Vi Properties are grayed out, so I can't change that. How is modified?
Thanks. This is LabVIEW 6.1.

Try hitting to change the VI to edit mode. Otherwise, right click on the VI's Icon (upper right of window) to change these properties. I believe a locked VI is by default not in edit mode.

If this doesn't do it, please post and we will try again.

That did not work. I am getting new errors (after editing some of the subvis)

VI Error:
There is not enough memory to compile this VI.

Details.
You need to make more memory available for LabVIEW to generate the code for this VI.

VI Error:
There is a problem with a subVI but this VI has no block diagram.

Details.
This VI has a bad connection to or cannot find a subVI or external routine, but it has no block diagram to show or fix the error. You must find or correct the subVI or external routine. Check for more information in the Explain... dialog in Get Info.

Apparently you have lost the diagrams for your subVIs. This is not a good thing at all. Try to find the original code (you DO have some kind of archiving or backup in place don't you) and restore those.

If this doesn't work, you may just have to start over, and consider this a lesson learned. Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.

If nothing else, post the code here (along with what version they are written in) and maybe someone here can help you.

Thanks. I started over. They were not so complex. How did I lose the diagrams? I don't want to do that again.
