Hi Joel

Thanks for the reply. I just checked the protections in the VI properties and it's set for unlocked (no password). I'll get the staff member I work for to log on and will try to write a VI under his account. We haven't tried other people on that computer. I will try that though. I just had the new OS installed and I installed LV2010 within the last 3 or 4 weeks. What seems weird to me is that he can run the VIs that I wrote in LabVIEW 8.6 before the computer rebuild. They open just fine in LV2010.

OK - I just found the problem and it is not LabVIEW's fault. I had a different person that was an administrator log onto the machine. He could run 90% of the VIs but could not open the project or a couple of the VIs. It would come up with a box saying that he did not have the permissions to open those files. A different computer support person came over and had seen this kind of problem before. To make it work for everyone, LabVIEW must be started by selecting to "run as administrator". You cannot start LabVIEW by double clicking on the project or vi or that will start the program in a normal mode. I guess Windows7 has bugs in the UAC (user access control) and even though a person is an administrator the OS will pick and choose where they can go and what they can do.THANK YOU Microsoft for making me so secure and unproductive.

Thank you for your time Joel. I hope this post might help others.
