Dear all Is it possible to call a vi with options like, you would do with dos commands "dir h:\" then similar would be "dir.vi h:\" in a windows short-cut? If it is possible how do I get the option data? Essentially I want to call vi with a specific ini-fil.

Hint drag some different graph indicators on the front panel and look at the help! Or search for a tutorial as "Labview for dummies" Anders

That is good. Having much of little time is never funny.

Thanks, I have tried and inspected the VI you sent. I will test to implement this idea later in the week. Anders

Is it possible to programatically access indicators and controls in global variables? In customers a project I have a global variable that contains "fields" like ChannelAUpdated ChannelBUpdated ChannelACorrected ChannelBCorrected Is there a way to build a string for the global I want to access and process that string with my argument? Or do I need to build separate cases for the same operations. BR Anders

A great tool I would like to add prefixes but the VIs I am currently working on, some of them have prefixes and some do not. Having the possiblitie to add a prefix without replacing another prefix would be valuable.
