Thanks to those who responded and kudos to Lewis Drake of Process Automation Corp. who was generous enough to provide me with a fantastic example of working software.
I had previously searched both ni.com and the 'shipped' examples and wasn't able to come up with anything. It might appear that simply saving the user's settings when the VI exits wasn't as commonplace as one might imagine... Thanks again, Earl -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earl Quillian Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 4:14 PM To: LabVIEW List Subject: [W] Save Controls as default Hello all, I am using LV 7/XP and I have encountered a situation which I think should have a simple answer. Basically, I have a panel that allows the user to make changes to some controls and I need to save the settings so that the next time that LabVIEW is loaded, the user's modifications to the controls are there? This will occur at runtime, so 'Operate' and 'Make Current Values Default' will not work. There are clusters and menu items (8 of each) and I would like to save their values as default without writing external file(s). Any tips are welcome and certainly appreciated!!! Thanks, Earl
