Load Panels with simple filenames?

[cpul]

This shouldn't be as hard as I am making it, but I still seem to have a problem. I have created two different programs in separate directories to run independently with their own separate project file.
I then create a third directory with a new project file to combine modules from the previous two directories. When I try to load UIR panels from the
other two directories using simple filenames I get the
can't find UIR filename error message. I can solve this problem by using the full path filename for each UIR file. However, my understanding from reading the manual, I should be able to use simple filenames as long as the uir file is included in my project file list even though the UIR file exists in a different directory. What am I over
-looking??? I am running CVI 5.5 on a Windows 2000 system. Thanks for any help!

Hello

Check out the following link.

If you are concerned that you will end up distributing alot of UIR files that are not in the same folder as the executable, you can embed the UIR's into the executable by using the UI to Code Converter tool, located in the project window under Tools >> UI to Code converter. This way, when you distrbute the app, you will only have one executable to provide, not a UIR and exe.

Hope this helps
