Has anyone tried using a Subpanel and some Back, Next, Finished, Cancel Buttons in a VI as a generic framework for a Wizard style interface? The main reason I'm thinking about doing this is the functionality of many of the wizard screens is also used in other areas of my app where I don't need to lead the user through steps. I've created wizards before using tabs, but thought a subpanel might be better because I could run a subvi in the background for each wizard screen and also call a screens subvi somewhere else if I just want to execute one of the screens. Has anyone gone down this path before. Let me know if its a stupid idea. Brian

You're right, but sometimes its less annoying to give them the answer, especially when a language barrier is in the way. Won't let it happen again. B

I have a project down the road where I need to store Graph data in a relational database. I wanted to see what other people are doing in terms of table structure in a database to store graph data from various tests. The graphs could have a variable number of plots and also a variable number of points (say up to 1k pts) in each plot. Based on my limited experience with database design I was going to make 3 tables in the dB: Table 1 (PlotData) col 1 = PlotDataID, autonumber (primary key) integer col 2 = PlotID_fk, (foreign key) integer col 3 = PlotDataX, real col 4 = PlotDataY, real Table 2 (Plots) col 1 = PlotID_pk, autonumber (primary key) col 2 = GraphID_fk, (foreign key) integer col (n) = (plot info ....) col (n+1) = (other plot info) Table 3 (Graphs) col1 = GraphID_pk col(n) = ....(graph info) col(n+1) =...(some other graph info) Then JOIN them altogether on the primary keys to retrieve the data. My worry is PlotData table will get huge and take a long time to query. Has anyone gone down this road before? Is there a better way? Thanks in advance
