Thanks for the quick reply.
I have attached a few files which I hope will explain the problem. The file with "USB" in the title is the one I am trying to write in LV8, and the other zip file is an older working version from LV7. They are not precisely the same but you should be able to see what I've been doing.
My upgrade was forced by a failed 6023-E card requiring me to move up to USB-6008, which was not supported by my old PC running USB1.0. So I have a new pc running LV8. You'll notice that the data acquisition in the USB version is slightly different but this bit works fine! It's the "easy" bits that I am having trouble upgrading.
Also attached for good measure are some screen dumps showing the y axis disappearance and also the code.

Hi Klara,
I don't seem to have the same problem as you as long I open both vi's on the same screen size.
You have set all of your front panel objects to scale with the window size and when I shrink the window size I see the Y axis disappear. (pretty much what I would expect for a small window)
Have you kept the screen sizes consistent?
I also wondered about your other problem. The only difference I can see with the two vi's once loaded in LabVIEW 8.0 (I used the differ tool) is that the LVM file write is set to Overwrite file in one program. and Rename existing file in the other Write LVM file.
Is this intentional?

Hi Adam,
It wasn't intentional to change the write LVM file settings. But the problem I am experiencing seems to be independent of the file settings, which is what made me think it was to do with the program structure rather than the Express VI.
My upgrade also forced me to move from a desktop to a laptop which I guess could have caused the Y axis disappearance from what you say. I am still not sure how to get it back though!
