Hi krupa,

what exactly is "not happening"?

[krupa]

When i copy the main vi that has comments,to the lvproj folder,the old vi is not overwritten by the new one.

Hi krupa,

why can't you overwrite the VI?

Don't you have access rights to that folder/file?

What happens when you close LabVIEW and restart it. After restart open the VI and/or the project…

use save as and then select duplicate hierarchy to new location

[krupa]

When i close,reopen it(vi,lvproj)..it is opening.i do not see any error..its working fine..just the copying is not happening

[krupa]

As i am copying from other location,the path seem to have changed.

how can i correct this??

Hi krupa,

lesson learned: don't copy single VIs from a project from one computer to an other!

How to correct? Follow the advices in the dialog shown in your image…

did you use  save as and then select duplicate hierarchy to new location?!
after that just close old vi and open from new location

Another mess that proper Source Code Control would have prevented.

It looks like you tried to open up the VI from another location.  Why were you unable to copy the file back overtop where you originally copied it from?  Sounds like a permissions issue.
