But is it okay to customize the Error In so it have the same (no standard) size/layout as a competitor/former employer? Why I came to think about the Error cluster was that in one of my of GDS VIs, I happened to modify the standard Error cluster by accident, and for some reason AddQ have done the exact same thing. Of cause it’s just a coincident but a pretty fun one ;-) Cheers, Mikael

Problem solved! Aristos stated the problem exactly, and to fix it and keep the original functionality unchanged, I replaced the Refnum with a string in the private data, and in the accessors I added code to flatten and unflatted from string. Thus the refnum is still stored in the class, and no code outside the class had to change, and I was able to hide from LabVIEW that ugly strict refnum it seems to hate so much. I would still like to hear why this is a problem, and, more importantly, why it is not stated more clearly by the compiler or the application builder. I want my two days back! George
