    How do I add this little red circle STOP button at the top of my executable so that the user can stop my VI at any time in during execution? Before the STOP button used to appear by itself but in my latest executable I can't get it to appear.  Thanks.

Sorry I meant to say the  ABORT button instead of STOP.  I clicked in  the VI window properties  "Show Abort button" but in the executable the Abort button stil does not appear. I see just the Run button. Thanks.

You never want to have the abort button on the toolbar visible or have anyone be able to click on it. You need to have a button on your front panel that gracefully stops your program. For that matter, you really should not have the run button visible. The default is to Run When Opened and if you need to enter data before the VI runs, there should be another front panel button that allows for data entry before running the rest of the program.
