Can't save changes to a .vi

I have a .vi that references a database.dsn file on the computer's C: drive.  I would like to change the file location.  I can change the path in the .vi that points to the new location, and I can run the vi pointing to the new path.  I seem to be able to save the file.  However, when I close the vi & reopen it always reverts back to the original path, seemingly ignoring any changes I made.  Any idea why?  I am using Labview 2013, running on Windows7.  The original file was written in Labview 8.1.  I have been able to make changes in the past to this file, though not on the computer I am working on now.  Thanks for the help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A better way is to create a configuration file that gets read at startup and populates all the controls with a value you set.  Then you just have to change the entry in the configuration file.  The next step is to create a menu item that runs a dialog box to change configuration options and saves them to the file.

    I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first.  Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

    That is Apple's statement:
    Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
    Options for iWork customers
    You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
    You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
    To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
    If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
    Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature with iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, and iCloud.com.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
    Upgrade to iCloud Drive later
    Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.     If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.

  • Webvpn - can't save changes to applications

    Hi,
    I have Cisco 1940 router with IOS version 15.0(1)M4. I have configured WebVPN for access to my internal applications.
    From Chrome and Mozilla I can login to webvpn portal and than to applications, but I can't save changes (input) to applications .
    In IE application is not displayed at all, I get blank page.
    Also, some images in application are not loaded.
    I think that there is a problem with webvpn java script, which doesn't terminate lines with ";".
    In Java Console I get following errors:

    Henk:
    I believe it's more a Leopard and permissions thing than iPhoto. Did you upgrade to leopard via the Archive and Install method? Try running ACL Fix on the iPhoto Library package and see if that makes a difference.
    Secondly, create a new test library inside the Shared folder and import some photos into it and see if it will operate OK. If it does you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the old library into the new one and use it.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I can't save changes to my PDF document?

    I downloaded a PDF document from Google Chrome onto my desktop. (It's a job application). However, every time I make changes to it, click save, and then open it up again using Preview, none of my changes have saved. Help?

    No -- I installed adobe acrobat -- and now, whether I'm signed in or not -- the little disc/save icon is whited out and it can no longer be selected -- when I open a PDF I can only save it to the cloud
    I am a physician, and a lot of what I look at is protected health information --- I can't be saving it in the cloud!!!  I have to find a way to disable this feature -- and restore my ability to save to my hard drive ONLY --
    Thanks -- but if you can tell me those things, I'll be grateful

  • ITunes can't save changes in Windows 7 64-bit

    I've got the latest version of iTunes (9.1.11.1) running on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit edition. Since I installed it and imported all my music and old database files (to preserve my playlists) I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't save the changes to iTunes because it doesn't have the rights to write to the "C" drive. Is there some permission I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Make sure your windows permissions are correct.
    Go into Windows Explorer. Find this folder
    C:\users\ username \My Music\iTunes
    Right-click > Properties, and go to the Security tab. Make sure your userID has _full control_ and ownership over that entire itunes folder, and all its /child/subfolders.
    You'll have to restart itunes so it will read the new permission settings.
    This link has some screenshots of what I'm talking about.

  • Can't save changes to forms in access 2010 db format 2007

    Access 2010 - file format Access 2007 cannot save design changes
    On a previously designed form which works, I went back to change a check box from enabled "Yes" to "No" - I am then prompted to save changes and I click "Yes" but the form will not save or close. To close the form I must select "No" to the changes and they
    are lost.  If I return to form view the changes are also lost when I close.
    I have exclusive access to the DB and per some other suggestions I have checked the box to open in exclusive and uncheck the box  "Track name AutoCorrrect Info". I have also used compact and repair, which is also done on a regular basis.
    I have found that it is beginning to occur on other forms as well for no apparent reason.
    History:
    This was originally an Access 97 database that had been upgrade, all forms, reports, etc., had been imported into a new Access 2007 database. It has been running fine for the past month and we have been making design changes with no issues up to this point.
    The database is running on MS Server 2008r2 Terminal Services

    Hi Iasun:
    I have exactly the same problem that you had and have not been able to solve it. As you say, forms can be modified but no be saved; you can´t either change it´s name or delete it. Many forms in a large application  that I developed have
    the same problem and it seems that with time more forms are becoming "damaged"
    What I have done is to open the "damaged" form in design view and copied all controls to a new Form, leaving the old form unused. This is not a real solution but it´s the only way that I have found to change the original form.
    Your comment is more than a year old, have you already found a good solution?
    My application was originally developed in Access2007 and still running under it so it is not a problem related to 2010.

  • PSE8 Can't save changes and replace original .jpg with edited

    Hello,
    After editing any .jpg, can't save the changes and replace the original with the edited one "because the file is already in use or was left open".
    I have to save it with other name.
    I'm working with PSE8 and OS X 10.9.1
    Any help would be welcome! Thank you in advance

    Thank you Barbara! no, I didn't know I had to do that... I'll try it
    Thank you again!

  • I need help with iPhoto slideshow.  I can't "save" changes. Particularly the rotate feature.  I rotate a photo 90 degrees... and the next time I play it...it's back to original.  Sideways!  Very frustrating.

    How do I save changes on iPhoto slideshow.  I rotate a photo... then it reverts back to original (sideways) next time it plays.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    is your slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode?
    what theme are you using?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Can't save changes in Quicktime pro on Windows 8.1

    I can't save any changes i make in quicktime pro 7.7.5. I am trying to trim a video clip.
    I am using QP just as i would on my mac version, modifying start and end points.
    When i click save, literally nothing happens .not even an eror message, nothing.

    OK. That rules out a "reference movie".
    You make a "selection" (in and out points) in the timeline and then you're using the "Cut" or "Trim to Selection" from the Edit menu?
    And then "Save As" or "Save"? Do you get the next window where you can edit the file name and change the destination directory?

    Hi, having purchased and installed pages after my 30 day trial had finished I am now unable to save any changes to documents I had created in the trial version.  It says I need a serial number, which I never got when I purchased the pages app.  Does anyone kno how to rectify this, I would be very grateful for any help as I'm currently writing up my thesis and am now unable

    Hi, I had the same problem and I found that you don't need a serial number anymore. Here is what I did:
    (1)I went to Applications fodder on my Mac. (You can navigate to the Application folder from 'New Finder Window.')
    (2) Deleted Pages (installed as part of the free  free trial version) from the Applications Folder. Also deleted 'IWorks' from the Applications folder.
    (3) Started AppStore.

  • How can i save changes made to user accounts?

    Hello everybody!
    Well, this is my very first question to the community and i really hope you guys are able to help me!
    Now my problem is as followed: On my MacBook Pro i use an Admin Account for personal usage, and then i got a Guest Account for everybody else than myself using my Mac.
    A few days ago i spent almost an hour setting up my guest account in appearence and other general settings, i.E. the trackpad reaction or multi touch gestures. Afterwards, i logged out my guest account and shut off my mac. Then, another day afterwards i restarted my mac and checked, if those changes took effect. Now, surprisingly, the Guest User account was completely resettet and used something what looks to me like a standard setup.
    How can i change this? How can i set up a Guest Account with certain rights, a specific wallpaper and only selected apps available?
    Thank you for your help and have a nice day!

    That is what the Guest User account is for - did you see this when you logged out of the Guest Account?
    What you need to do is to set up a new account that is not the system installed Guest Account with a name of your choosing.
    Regards.

  • Can't save changes in trial version CS6

    I downloaded the trial version of CS6 -- trying to decide if I want to upgrade now or wait a bit. I started working on a few files in it, saved before closing, only to find that my changes weren't made... or saved.
    I thought this was "fully functional." Is this my problem or does it not save documents?
    thanks for any help... I'm inclined not to upgrade because of the problem.

    Something wrong on your end. The only difference between trial and licensed copy is the entering of the serial number.

  • [4.0] Bug - can't save changes in table after clearing date field with shift+delete

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Open any table containing columns of DATE type, go to "Data" tab
    2) Find any non-null cell in said column
    3) Select said cell, press shift+delete. Cell's value becomes (null) and row is marked for update.
    4) Press Commit button or F11
    After that, this line appears in "Messages" window:
    One error saving changes to table "SCHEMA"."TABLE_NAME":
    If you clear column by typing space and deleting it, cell's value becomes (null) as well, but commit works. Update statement from worksheet also work, so it's not a table issue.
