How do I remotely see the FP and control the VI from another computer?

[NIDave]

I am interested in running a VI from another location. Currently I am using the VI server and calling the application through the TCP/IP however the front panel doesn't show up on the computer that is doing the calling. It will spawn the VI on the test computer but I cant see it from the remote computer so I cant control it. I know there has to be an easy way to do this without using datasockets because I have alot of controls. I am almost positive that I did this before using the VI server but for some reason I cant get it to work now. (of course I could be dreaming that I did this this way before too)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as Im sure this will baffle me all weekend.

Thanks for all the help,
Dave

Use the webpublishing tool to create a webpage that has the VI embedded. Then, enable labview webserver. You should now be able to access the VI over the internet using a browser to request that webpage and then, control the VI as if you are on the test machine. Also, make sure that access and control of the VI is permitted. These settings are accessed by going to tools>>options.

Use remote front panels. You can view and control a VI front panel remotely, either from within LabVIEW or from within a Web browser, by connecting to the LabVIEW built-in Web Server. When you open a front panel remotely from a client, the Web Server sends the front panel to the client, but the block diagram and all the subVIs remain on the server computer. You can interact with the front panel in the same way as if the VI were running on the client, except the block diagram executes on the server.

The user at the server computer must first enable and configure the Web server before a client can view and control a front panel remotely using LabVIEW or a Web browser. Configure the Web Server by selecting Tools»Options and selecting the Web Server pages from the top pull-down menu. Use these pages to control browser access to the server and to specify which front panels are visible remotely. You also can use these pages to set a time limit on how long any particular remote client can control a VI. The Web Server allows multiple clients to connect simultaneously to the same front panel, but only one client at a time can control the front panel.

To run the VI as a remote panel in LabVIEW, The server computer must have the VI that you want to control open in memory.
Then on the client computer
Select Operate»Connect to Remote Panel to display the Connect to Remote Panel dialog box
Select Request Control to control the front panel and click connect.

Thanks so much for your help. I understand the web server bit now and got it working with the web publishing tool. LabView makes this stuff so easy!
Thanks Again.
