Hello Simon,
In order to have 2 copies of a FP vi, you cannot run them at the same time with the same name. You have to copy the vi file with a different name. What you can easily do is to create a vi that copies the vi to the temp directory, then run it with the vi server method and delete this file when the vi is done. This is quite a common trick and works well.

It's a log viewer and I'd like to be able to have two instances running side-by-side, with a different log file loaded into each one. Setting the VI to reentrant doesn't appear to be the complete solution. This must be a fairly common problem, and I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's managed to solve it.
