The topic came up here that LabVIEW should have a way to open VIs from disk without bringing up file dialogs for every missing subVI. The idea on the Idea Exchange is still a good idea, so go give it kudos. But, in the meantime, here's my gift to you for today... The attached "Open VI Without File Dialogs For Missing VIs.vi" will, given a path to a VI, open the FP of that VI. If there are any missing subVIs, those subVIs will be searched for on disk (unless you disable search in Tools>>Options), but if they are not found, no file dialog will appear to prompt you for where to find them. The diagram of this VI is password protected -- even though Scripting is now released, I put this together using features that are private. The VI is saved in LV 8.0... I tested it in LV 8.5 and 8.6, but I think it works all the way back. Open VI Without File Dialogs For Missing VIs.vi
