Building an application....

[Fermiguy]

When I build an application, a folder DATA is created, with some dll's in it. What is the use of these folder and files? Do I need them to run the application? Thanks.

Yeah you always need this when you run the application,these files are the dll's which are required by your application.

Thank Vicky.
The dll files always have the same creation date (of 2004) every time I build an application. It seems like the same files, in each case of building, are placed in the DATA folder. These dll files are not created at building procedure. Am I correct? If so, when are they created and used over and over again?

Thanks...............

Hi,
Sure it is not created everytime it is the same dll's which are used depending or the application.say for example you make use of the DAQ functions then the daq.dll is called,so this is added in the data folder.

Hello again Vicky,

Thanks for the info. I understand the "build" better now.
My original question was promted by the fact that when I run an application I created a while ago and run successfully before, produces an error during execution of a subroutine. A small LabView windows come up saying "Error" with an OK button, nothing else in the message. I press OK and the rest of the program runs normally. I do not know what the error is. How can I debug it? I entertain the possibility of hardware problem but I do not have any info from the program.

Thanks.....

Hi,
First of all If the error has been handled as you say with only the error and OK button poping up then it is not possiable to debug it in a application,we will need the source code,if you can post the code then surely yuo will get a reply regarding the error.
cheers

Hello again Vicky,

I spent my Memorial weekend on this problem and this morning I figured out that a parameter in an input file (config file) was different!! Yes, as simple as that. Thanks for your attention and help.

Best regards.......
