Why Are There Yellow Triangles With Exclamation Marks by My FieldPoint Devices or by My VIs

Hardware: Compact FieldPoint, FieldPoint

Problem:
When I open my LabVIEW project I see yellow triangles with exclamation marks next to my FieldPoint Devices or my VIs. Why are these here? Can I get rid of them?

Solution:
If you are seeing the yellow ! triangles next to your I/O modules, it means that you have edited the IAK file associated with your project in MAX.  LabVIEW is dependent on the iak file, and will display errors if it is changed outside of the project.  The iak file associated with the project should be in the same directory as the project and have the same name as the project. Even a change as simple as the DHCP server assigning your controller a new IP address can cause this error.

If you are seeing the yellow ! triangles next to your VIs, this is due to moving your VIs from their original location.  The LabVIEW project references all items contained in it through relative paths, not absolute paths.  Therefore if you move the VI from its original location without keep the same directory structure with respect to the project, the project no longer knows where to find it.
