A problem with controls not updating

[Steve_Block]

I'm trying to figure this out. I have a program where controls and indicators are not properly dimming/enabling and test string values are not updating despite clearly settings them. After either exiting the program or using it past a point it starts working. I haven't seen this in any of my other vis. Is there a hidden property somewhere that might be causing this. Any thoughts on the root cause?

Maybe someone else has a crystal ball and can see what your VI looks like.

Steve,

Please post your code or at least a screen shot of your code.

I'm not allowed to post code, but all it would be is wiring a string up to a text indicator local variable. I've done that about several thousand times.

Turn on exection highlighting and see if things are actually happening when you think they're happening.

At least post a screen capture of your code, without something to look at we can only make blind guesses.

Could you post your top level vi with any proprietary sub-vi's removed?

How many other local variables of the string are scattered across the diagram? Are there unwired tunnels that are set to use default if unwired? Is the string indicator one line high, but the string starts with a newline character?
