Open vi in edit mode programatically

Question

I am trying to programatically alter the build number global variable. I open a VI reference to global.vi form a seperate vi which has no stact linkage to the global.vi and i have altered the values programatically but when i use invoke node for "Make current values default" it complains that the vi is not in editable mode. How do i make it work?
Thanks,
Anand
I found the bug immediately after posting here. I had a static linkage to the global.vi in the type conversion for "build".

Use VI Server. Open a reference to the VI, and set the front panel open
property to true.

That is not possible. You could use an empty VI template (.vit). Open it,
and when the user is done, he is asked to save it under a different name.

cases.
Use dynamic event registeration. When you have a reference to the VI, wire
it to a dynamic event registration node, and select the panel close event.
Then use an event structure to catch the event.
