Just thought of a possible easier alternate method, the: "General Recursion Call (Variant).vi" 1. Use Call Chain or OpenG vi to get reference to calling VI. 2. Use LabVIEW scripting to get calling VIs connector pane. 3. Use Get Controls (Variant) from OpenG to read the indicator(s) of the calling VI. 4. Use Set Controls (Variant) from OpenG to write to the control(s) of the new instance of the calling VI. 5. Use Run Method with Wait for Completion = TRUE 6. Use Get Controls (Variant) to read the indicator(s) of the new instance VI. 7. Process and return... Granted, it is not "grabbing own VI icon", but include in \user.lbi\... etc... Did I forget anything? Now, who will come up with the most elegant implementation, or a proof that this will not work? As my college prof's all said, "the rest is left as an excercise for the student..." Ciao, Michael *********************************** Michael C.
