problem with dsn when compiled

[chaz.byrne]

I am having a problem after I compile my cvi program and make a standalone executable.  It is not finding the DSN correctly when run on a different machine without the full LabWindows\CVI and the Database Connectivity toolset.  Why is this?

I have checked the DSN several times, it is exactly the same as on the development pc (where the program was compiled).  It runs fine, with no problems on the development pc, but I am having problems on the standalone pc's with only the LabWindows\CVI runtime engine.

Did I forget to include something?

Thanks,

Hello Chaz,

There is a knowledge base article that describes how to distribute CVI applications that use the Database Connectivity Toolset and you can find it here:
Why Do I Get Errors When I Try to Run a Distribution of a CVI Program which Uses the SQL Toolkit? [link removed; article no longer available]

Hope this helps and let me know how this goes.

Shakhina,

  Thanks very much.  That is the same exact link that I got when I called into NI yesterday 🙂

  Works like a charm...

Thanks,
