How do I create a simple launcher VI that will end when the new VI is started?

I've just recently upgraded to Labview 7 and I'm writing a complex set of programs that are related, but do not need to be running simultaneously. I would like to write a simple launcher program that will load the appropriate VI and close itself after doing so. I understand how to call a subVI and have its front panel open upon execution, but I'd rather keep the VI's seperate.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Try the attached example. Be careful though - if you make changes to this VI, make sure you save it before you run it, as it closes itself, and you will loose any unsaved changes...

How do I create a simple writeable template that will load to any PDF invoice

Hi there, I am wanting to use a word template (or writeable PDF template) to superimpose (cut and paste) onto a PDF invoice we receive by email. The goal is to allow us to code directly on to the PDF received. I have tried a few options but they all are time consuming.
Can you please recommend the simplest method to code direct on to the invoice copy (that a manager can then sign off when the email is forwarded to him/her) with the invoice and amendment attached.
Many thanks
Danny Kennedy

How do I find a list of printers that will print from the IPad 2?

How do I find a list of printers that will print from the IPad 2?

Those that support AirPrint are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Some printer manufacturers also have their own apps e.g. HP http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-eprint-home-biz/id299531647?mt=8
And there are third-party apps which work with some printers e.g. Print Central For iPad and Print n Share

How do I create a formula in Numbers that will only sum a set number of entries?

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will keep track of my expenses. In Table 1, I have only the totals for each spending category. All the other tables represent each of the spending categories, which contain all the transaction entries. In Table 1, I created a drop down menu with the following five options:
Last 30 Days
Last 365 Days
This Month
Last Month
All Time
The numerical entries in Table 1 correspond exactly to the entries of the respective footer rows. At the moment, the sum in each of the footer rows adds up all the transaction entries, but I want to be able to add up only the entries that satisfy the selected drop-down menu option.
So how can I create a conditional formula in each of the footer rows that will allow me to do this?

Hi tsp,
compare each date entry with today's date
The TODAY function will automatically update as your time zone crosses midnight.
Here is a single-cell table to use as a reference (or you could place this somewhere in a larger table)
=TODAY()
Calculating days until a task must be done
C2 (and Fill Down)
=DATEDIF(Today::A$1,B2,"D")
But only if your dog can wait 3 days for a walk .

How do I create a filter in photoshop that will effect any photo you add it to?

I need to create a template that can be quickly and easily changed out week to week. So I need to adjust the colors of photos but add that to any photo I choose week after week. How do I do this??

Wrong tool. Use InDesign. That aside you may be looking for a solution that may not/ can not exist - how would you create a usable duotone of an image, without tweaking its contrast beforehand? It's simply gonna look different with every lighting situation and require manual intervention. and I don't know how "most designers" work, but for the aforementioned reasons I wouldn't work this way. Our clients 'marketing directors would ram me into the ground without even a second thought if they got such untweaked work.

How do I create a timesheet on numbers that will give me a weekly total as well as an hourly total?

I am currently enrolled in an internship, and I need to sumbit an timesheet every week, as well as one at the end of my internship showing the overall hours that I worked. How do I create a Time sheet that will show my start time, end time, total hours for the day, total hours for the week, and total overall hours. If possible can someone please show me step by step how to do this or give me a template I can go off of.

Hi j,
Take a look at the Employee Schedule template in the business section of the Template Chooser.
With a few modifications, it should do what you need.
Start by renaming the main table to reflect the new focus—you—then replace the names in row 1 with the Sunday dates of the weeks being recorded. Each column will then report your total house for one week (in row 25). You can use SUM() to total these in a separate cell or on a separate tabel.
One caution:
The values in the pop-up menus, like those in all cells showing either Date or Time values contain both a Date part and a Time part. Where only the Time part has been entered, the Date part is the Date on which the entry was created. For the pop-ups on this table, that was July 15, 2008, so the full value in cell C7 (John's first "In" time) is July 15, 2008 08:00:00. That full value is what's used in the calculation in C9.
If you edit the pop-up menu lists, there are two things to be aware of:
The "blank" item in the menus enters an empty string into its cell, not a true blank. You, as a user, cannot create an 'empty string' item in a popup menu. The closest you can come is an entry with a single space. If you edit the "blank" item, you will also need to edit the formulas in the hours rows to detect a space ( " " ) rather than an empty string ( "" ).
If you add or change any 'time' items in the pop-ups, the new (or changed) items will contain 'today's' date as part of the value. To avoid unexpected results from calculations, you'll need to edit ALL or the 'time' items if you choose to edit or add one.
Take a look at the template, then bring back any questions that arise.
Regards,
Barry

How do i create an ipod/iphone version of my videos in the new itunes?

In the new version of iTunes, there is no "advanced" drop-down menu, where i can click "create ipod/iphone version" to convert the selected video into a format compatibe with my 4th gen. ipod touch. The videos are already in a mp4 format, but won't sync > itunes just says they're not compatible my ipod. I have also noticed that all the videos added to my library after the update, are being copied to "Home Videos" and the usual file location.

Select the video. Then:
File menu -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version

How to configure a audit in global zone that will audit all the zone

Hi everyone,
Please i want you guy to help me out on how i can configure an audit for my global zone that we audit all the zones that i have in global zone.
I have a global zone , and i have like four zones under it, so i dont know how to configure a BSM audit for the global zone that we audit for all the zones.
I will appreciate your swift response.
Thanks and Regards.
Ladi

Most of the time each zone is treated as a separate server. This is my experience others might do it differently. All logs can then be sent to a log server and you will know that about the zone errors because the zone has a zone and/or host name. You can also login to the zone and check the logs there as well.
The link below is for book from a guy who is much smarter then me. Read the security chapter.

How do I create an Application with Automator that will open files in Photoshop Elements 11 and run an action?

Here's what I'd really like the Script to do when I select one main folder:
Look through all the subfolders, find all the PNG files and convert them to TIFFs, replacing the original PNG files.
Open the converted TIFF files in PSE 11.
Run an action on them in PSE 11 (which I already created that adds a white fill layer below the TIFF file.)
Save each file in their original location and Close each file.
Import them into LR.
Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
If that's not possible, I'd love an Automator action that can convert the PNG files to TIFFs that can be viewed in LR 4.4. If I convert them in PSE 11, LR can view them, but if I convert them using Automator, LR cannot.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

LabVIEW 7 added a property to get a command line argument. For older versions see http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DA5B56A4E034080020E74861.
I'm not sure I understand you problem with the Run button. If you set the execution mode to Run When Opened from VI Properties, it should execute once whenever it's called. I think that when building an executable, it changes the property to this if it's not already set. If the application does not have this set, it will not be running at all. I'm assuming that you are talking about the Run button on the toolbar and not a run Boolean that you've created on the front panel.
Since you have the app builder, your other option is to create a DLL. If you can call a DLL in Matlab, then that would probably be simpler.

Need to find out how to lock a point in a path that will not allow the rest of the path to rotate or move around it

Hello,
I am having some trouble with using shape layers and paths to create a solid, flat 'hair' effect in a cartoon animation.
I have used a semicircle shape layer as the hair on the head itself and then a path with a stroke of the same width as the semi circle to be the long part of the hair.
Unfortunately when I move/rotate the bottom point in the path it causes gaps to appear further up where the stroke is rotating around the point at which the stroke is supposed to "connect" to the semi circle.
I have included a couple of screenshots of me rotating the hair opposite ways so you can see.
- imgur: the simple image sharer
- imgur: the simple image sharer
I need to find out if there is a way to lock the top point in place where it joins the semi circle blond hair which will stop this part from moving at all, even rotating around the point.
But the bottom needs to move freely and obviously the part between the two points will move fairly naturally.
If you can imagine how a girl with long hair has her hair attached to her head, it does not move at all, but the bottom moves freely. It needs to be like this.
If you can provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That is perfect thank you so much!
Can't believe I didn't think of that but you da real MVP!

How do I replace bookmark bar that was lost when a new Mozilla Fox Start page suddenly appeared with a Zone Alarm Community Toolbar, and nothing I have so far tried, working with "Show all Bookmarks", works ("Unable to process the backup file).

My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How to make a java program that will give you the list of files in the dir

How can you make a program in java that will list all the files in a directory with out useing the File,FileWriter,FileReader,InputStreamReader,FileInputStream,RandomAccessFile etc. classes

What is with these instructors? So far today I have
seen
Do something 100 times, but don't use a loop
Format numbers, but don't use NumberFormat
and now this.
What are these people trying to teach?
Java??? I don't think so.Perhaps it is because these instructors are learning Java at the same time as their students. They are only one chapter ahead of the students. :(

How can i create a simple netweaver portal page that shows text and images?

Hi,
i have a simple question or maybe it's not so simple.
I am completly new to SAP Netweaver 2004s Portal. At the moment i'm trying to understand the struture of the whole thing. I already know how to create roles, worksets and pages and i know how to combine the different elements so a user can acces them.
And now i want to create a simple portal page that shows text and images. Is it possible to create such a simple page with the portal content studio? What iView do i have to use?
(I just want to create a start page with a welcome text on it.)

Marc
Considering that you would any ways go ahead with complex development from this simple start page I recommend create a Web dynpro Iview for your start page (include the Iview in your page).
For putting the contents use Netweaver Developer studio to build a simple start page application and put your static text on that Iview.
Please go through the following log after your NWDS development is over - This will make you comfortable for further challenging work.
