Where is the best target location to put configuration files (.csv), report templates (,dotm) and instructions (.pdf) when building a LabVIEW program and installer?

I am unsure of the best location to the above type of support files. I would like the files to be available to all users accounts. If I place them into something like c:\LabVIEW support files this can create an issue if manual changes are made to any of these files by a user without administrative rights. I can also place them into public documents. Any recomendations?
Related. I have added a PDF "help" file to the project. and given a path in the VI properties documentation field. I have then added a custom runtime menu with "Help for This VI". Running the application on my development machine, it works just fine. Making this in an application installed on a test machine, results in the application crashing. The PDF file is in the correct location on the target machine. Any ideas?

It seems you want to put the files where just any user can't get to them to edit them. Unfortunately, if the user account can't get to them, I don't think LV will be able to get to them. I could be wrong. To test this out, use a target location somewhere under your user account folder and then have another user try to run the app. if LV finds them then that gives you more options. If not, then you are going to have to have a common location that users are not likely to go to.
I generally create a dedicated folder structure for LV apps on a target system as shown below. I also make this the My Documents folder so that the LabView Data folder is created under this structure. Yea, it means that users can get to the files but that's where training needs to be executed. If you are in a network environment, you can place the templates, config (ini) files, etc on a network location and users are a bit less likely to inadvertently navigate to them.
I use both for some apps, Local folders for system specific files and Common folders on the network for files that all systems will share.
Not sure if this will address your location issues but thought I would share it nonetheless.

In Oracle Forms 10g, what is the best approach in read an excel file (csv)?

Hi All!
Could someone please advise me on what is the best way for an oracle form reading and extracting data from an excel spreadsheet (csv) that is located in the local drive directory.
Someone had already advised me to use TEXT_IO function or use a javabean through the Implementation Class property.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can give me insights.
Thanks! beeals

Other approach to load a CSV file, you can use EXTERNAL TABLES. SQL Reference manual has examples.

Where is the best place to put custom functions?

Hi,
I have a composition which has a number of symbols. I have to call some custom methods externally and was wondering where is the best place to put the custom methods?
I have seen posts that I should put the code in the CompositionReady event of the stage but I would like to put it a bit closer to the symbol.
Is this the best place?
Sham.

Here is a case:
It's a good idea if you well understand global and local variables.
About complete event, you are right.

Where is the best place to put cfqueries?

Where is the best place to put cfqueries, in the <head> </head> or before the html tag? Thanks

So before the doctype tag? Thanks
I just doesn't really matter. the doctype, head, body, etc only matter to the browser; the CF tags only matter to CF. The browser doesn't see the CFML, and CF doesn't care about the mark-up one bit: it just ignores it.
The best place - as I said - is not in the same file at all. But if you insist on slapping your business logic in with your display logic, then the only consideration is that you need to set your variables before you use them. Other than that: it simply doesn't matter.
One consideration you might make is - even if it's all thrown into the same one file - at least separate the file itself into sections: have all your CFML code that gets your data at the top, and try to limit the CFML you have mixed in with the mark-up, eg: limit it to stuff like loops and conditionals.
But, seriously, separate your concerns. Dan's pretty much just wrong when he said it's over-engineering. It's just sloppy to not to write tidy, well-maintained, well-organised code.

Where is the best place to save my projects?

I dont know if I have been saving my Project right but I also have a external hard drives and I thought I was saving it their but I check it today and their is nothing on it . Where is the best place to save it or do I even need the external hard drive? Thanks

No idea what you might have done wrong...
By default your projects are saved in Macintosh HD/Users/~<name>/Music/Logic/ folder on your boot drive. Check it first.
You can also try to open your project again using recent files list in Finder or in Logic itself. Then you can find the exact location of your project folder: in the Arrange select an Audio region and go Audio -> Show Selected File(s) in Finder. This will open Audio Files folder in the project folder (well, this will work only if external files are included in the project's assets).
Another method will be using Spotlight (click on magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open Spotlight and type in your the name under which you saved your project).

Where is the best place to buy the new ipad? Please help

I am ready to buy a new ipad. There is no apple store in my town but I will be close to one in a couple of days. My town has Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Assuming I can find what I want... in case I have issues with it, where is the best place to purchase from?? (as far as ease of return, etc). Please advise.

Dah*veed ..... I do not disagree with what you said about the AppleCare+ protection plan as it does state on the website that proof of purchase is required - IF ... You purchase over the phone. Actually, I did not expect to be able to do this over the phone, but as I said I received the paperwork today via email.
I copied this from the website and I'm typing this on my new iPad so it may come out a little distorted but you can read the sentence at the bottom that says it can be done over the phone with proof of purchase. I gave the rep my serial number, confirmed my address and CC details and the deal was done. I even called back later in the day to make absolutely certain that I did in fact purchase the AppleCare+ plan that has the two incidents of accidental damage included for a $49.00 charge. The rep did in fact confirm that I did buy the correct plan that I wanted and I am looking at the printed paperwork confirming the whole thing.
Maybe I just got lucky!
iPad - AppleCare+
Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. AppleCare+ for iPad gives you two years of repair coverage and technical support from the original purchase date of your iPad. And it adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling of your iPad, each subject to a $49 service fee.1
How to get AppleCare+
You must buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of your iPad purchase.
There are three ways to buy:
From the Apple Online Store: When you order the new iPad or iPad 2, you’ll have the option to add AppleCare+ to your cart before you check out.
At an Apple Retail Store (requires a Genius Bar appointment, inspection of the iPad, and proof of purchase).
By calling 1-800-275-2273 (requires proof of purchase).

Where's the Best Place....

Hello once again,
I have yet to purchase my MBP, and I am wondering from all of your experiences, where is the best place to buy a 1gig 3rd party RAM. Paying all that money for Apple's RAM isn't that way I want to go, but if there's no recommended 3rd party companies, I may need to cough over the bucks...
thanks,

Fair enough. I wasn't actually suggesting buying from Crucial.The best source for the 1gb Crucial was Newegg.com at $150 - but this is also for a chip that Apple are supplying as original ram so it's not a bad price. I didn't know Crucial sold Samsung - seems a bit odd as they are owned by Micron who also supply Apple as OEM. Business makes for strange bedfellows:)
OWC sell their own branded ram for $112 or so and Samsung M470T295CZ3-CE6 (as also supplied by Apple) for $170. What I was saying was that this Samsung chip,
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Samsung/53SDR2SAM1GB/
can be found for as little as $120 - so OWC are a tad expensive for this particular chip if that is the one you were thinking of buying.
It sounds like you're going for the OWC own brand, so I can't recommend a cheaper source for that and they know a thing or two about ,macs so there's no reason to not trust their judgement.
Best of luck
Cheers.

I often wish when I select a word to right click and choose dictionary to to find out the meaning of the word. Currently I have to copy, go to a dictionary web page, paste and search. And I spent a lot of time for that. I'm not that technically oriented to suggest how this can be achieved but just as an idea, may be Mozilla can partner with dictionary web sites by making a plug ins or include a dictionary with Firefox itself

I am sure there are Extensions that do this.

Where's the best place to store email templates?

Hi all;
In a web app I store all my email templates in a files folder in the web app. Can't do that with a worker in a cloud service - no files. So where's the best place to store them? In a BLOB? And if so, is there a way to have files in my project get automatically
written to BLOB entries when I publish?
thanks - dave

Hi,
I think we could use azure blob to save files.
>>is there a way to have files in my project get automatically written to BLOB entries when I publish?
If you choose azure cloud service, you could write the upload code at role onstart method. If you choose Azure website, please consider use azure webjob to do this, refer to

Depends on what your logic does and what data it deals with, but in general business logic is in the ADF BC layer.
Some goes into entity objects - for things like attribute or row validation.
Some goes into view objects - for things like calculation.
Some goes into AM - for things like service methods for UI clients.

Where is the best place to buy a new battery?

I can't say for sure what the indicators of a reputable other source are. That being said, there are lots of offers out there for batteries that are (take your pick) cheap knockoffs, actually used batteries that show up with many cycles reporting, batteries that do not communicate with the OS or SMU/PMU at all, etc. There are anecdotal reports of batteries going kerplunk within months of shipping. So, first make sure that the site is reputable. Second, scour the web for references to the site to see is there are many "I got taken" posts. Finally, search this discussion thread for "powerbook battery" and check for the anecdotal information I was referring to.
As I noted above, I have been running an OWC battery for about a year now without a problem and I have had other good dealings with them. You might ask in this thread if anyone has had good results or bad with a candidate vendor.

Usually for most image editing you really shouldn't need that type of plugin. (it's similar to Image>Adjustments>Equalize)
