Error 6 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in NI_Excel.lvclass:Save Report to

I have an application that works on LV60 and when run in LV86 I get the following error:
Error 6 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in NI_Excel.lvclassave Report to File.vi->SWF001 Test.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error.
=========================
NI-488: I/O operation aborted.
C:\SWF001 IO Files\1_Single.xls
The application does:
New Report.vi
Excel Get Worksheet.vi
Excel Easy Table.vi
Excel Easy Text.vi (4 of them)
Save Report to File.vi
Dispose Report.vi
all in a nice chain (errors and report-in/outs) as is typical
For some reason I'm getting this error. I'm using it with Excel 2003 SP3 and the spreadsheet contains macros (and I get a prompt "should I enable macros:" (I answer yes), that I didn't get with LV60 and the older version of Excel). This is probably not the problem? but deserves mention.
The file does exist on the system (and it appears the application is writing to it successfully - though perhaps truncated as the error indicates- i can't tell for sure).
I can open and save the Excel file independently of LV just fine.
Any clues?
Many thanks! -David

Unfortunately, an Error 6 is a catch all category for all sorts of file IO errors that LV doesn't know how to handle. For example, while it doesn't sound like your problem, trying to access a file that resides on a network drive that isn't currently mounted can generate an Error 6.
Have you tried saving the file to a different location?
If you restart your computer and run the VI does it generate the error the very first time you run it?
Can you post your code - or at least a subset of it that demonstrates the problem?
Is Excel open when you are running the code?
Also, as a test try modifying your code so it has a unique name every time you save it.

Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Open Config Data.vi

I have a .vi that was working fine with Labview 7.0. I now have upgraded to Labview Professional 8.0, and I am trying to build a stand alone executable. When I build the executable, build an installer, and then try to install it on another computer then run it......... I get the "Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Open Config Data.vi" error. Any ideas?

Hello,
In addition to the LabVIEW Help, there is an Application Note on Distributing Applications with the LabVIEW Application Builder and a knowledge base article What Is The Build Specification Feature In Application Builder? that might be helpful.
Also, here
is a knowledge base article on what Dennis has described and it
provides an example to call an extra Strip Path function. Also, instead
of using a Match Pattern function, you could use the App.Kind property
node (use Open Application Reference, Property Node: Application ->
Kind, and Close Reference) to determine if you are running in a
Run-time system.
Good luck and best regards,

Error 7 occurred at open/create/replace file

Hello,
I have searched the forum and could not find any useful information regarding my problem, so hope you may shed some light. MyVI can create a new csv (text) file by using the time to name the file, so every time the new file will be created with a different name and file path is not a relative path. I can run the VI in both development environment and stand along executable without any problem. But,
One of my colleagues cannot run the executable exe on her machine because Error 7 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in xxxx.vi Possible reason: LabVIEW: File not found. The file might be in a different location or deleted. Use the command prompt or the file explorer to verify that the path is correct.
My question is why only she cannot run this exe on her machine. I have checked a few different PC in my office and all of them can run this exe without problem, so I am pretty sure the code is fine.
I have already ask her to do,
Run the executable as administrator
Save the new file to other drives (not C: drive)
but she still cannot run the executable. I dont think this is a premission issue, otherwise, LabVIEW would give a different error, Error 8 I believe.
Both her PC and my PC is running Windows 7 professional 64-bit. The only difference I can see is that she is based in US and I am based Australia. Does anyone have any idea? Please help.
Thanks,
Sherman

I’m not sure but expecting like below,
As you said, your creating file name with Time. Make sure file name is correct and there is no special characters (like, / or : ). If your formatting time to string with “Format Date/Time String.vi” (while creating file name), based on UTC format, string will change.
UTC format specifies if the output string is in Universal Time or in the configured time zone for the computer. If TRUE, date/time string is in Universal Time. The default is FALSE.
Make sure you have access rights to create files into mentioned folder. Try to create new file manually.

Error 5 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Write spreadsheet String.vi

Hi everyone,
can anyone help me with this problem?
"error 5 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Write spreadsheet String.vi "
I've been using this part of the program for over a year an suddenly this error occures. But not always, mainly at the very beginning of my tests when the file should not be open.
Info: I'm using a realtime PXI-System. Maybe the amount of data can cause the problem? (about 2MB)

Hi Meike,
is the file opened by a different program? Do you try to access it by FTP in parallel to your VI?
You could use basic file functions instead of WriteSpreadsheetFile. That way you could open the file before starting the loop, keep it open all the time and close it once you're finished - with the added benefit of easier error handling…

Hello Nofil,
This is probably happening because you have made a copy of the VI without changing the name/ location on the disc. I have saved a copy of the VI for you, it is in LabVIEW 2010 SP1, please ask if you want this in a previous version.

Error 6 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Write Spreadsheet String.vi- Write To Spreadsheet File (string).vi- Untitled 1

Hi I'm getting the above error when attempting to get a file path control to write to a spreadsheet vi?
The spreadsheet is opened in open office but saved as a .xls in the documents folder.
The spreadsheet only contains one row and three columns each with text contained but when I run the VI and then open and view the actual speadsheet all three headers appear together in the A1 cell before the title error message appears.
Is Labview not compatible with open office? Perhaps someone can confirm if this is indeed the case?
Thanks in advance...

Solved. One just needs to click seperate by tab in the import dialog than opens in OO calc.

Stand alone application(.exe) : Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vi: Open File (error: L'erreur 7 s'est produite à : Open File+.vi:Open File)

Dear group members - as i am trying to build a stand alone application , i ran into this problem : "Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vi: Open File" (L'erreur 7 s'est produite à : Open File+.vipen File)
when i select continue i get this error message: "Error 7 occurred at open/create/replace file in Write spreadsheet string.vi->Write To Spreadsheet File (I64).vi->Mono Com Write ini.vi->mainVI2.vi"" ( "L'erreur 7 s'est produite à : Ouvrir/Créer/Remplacer un fichier dans Write Spreadsheet String.vi->Write To Spreadsheet File (I64).vi->Mono Com Write ini.vi->mainVI2.vi" )
i didn't get what's the problem with this vi, i have no problem running my VIs
Can any one here help me out ?
here is the project :

Neither can I. When I opened your Project, there were no VIs present on the top level. The Build Spec refers to a Mainv12, which I finally found buried in the folder Interface 2, but when I tried to open it, there were multiple missing VIs. I notice you have an Interface 2.llb -- is this the same as the VIs in the Interface 2 folder? If so, try getting rid of the .llb (at least for the purpose of sharing your code in the Forum) and re-post your code. As it stands, when I open your Project, virtually every entry is marked "Warning: has been deleted, etc." The fact that so much is "missing" means that I can't easily see/understand MainV12, hence can't guess where the File Not Found error is arising. Sorry.

Error 7 occurred at open vi reference in New Report.VI

Hello!
I use the report generation toolkit on LabView 7.0 to create a report in Excel. The program works fine until I make an executable version. I the get the error:
Error 7 occurred at open vi reference in New Report.VI
I use the New Report.VI, Bring Excel to front.VI and Save Report To File.vi
Can you pleace help me!!!

Most likely, you did not include the required libraries in your build script. When building an executable in which you use the Report Generation Toolkit, you must include the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs on the Source Files tab.
Check this article for more info.

Error 42 occurred at Open Application Reference in DynamicDownload.vi

Hi！
I want to create an executable from a VI wich calls a dll created by Simulink and Simulation Interface Toolkit.
After I compile the simulink module with MSVC++ 6.0 in MATLAB,and then use this dll in LabVIEW,
the following message appears:
Error 42 occurred at Open Application Reference in DynamicDownload.vi->SIT_InitEstablishTCPConnection.vi->SIT Initialize.vi->Untitled.vi
Returning to Select Host dialog.
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Generic error.
What should I do to have an executable which works correctly?

I have the same Problem here with the Error 42 on open application reference.
Can someone pleas explain what this error means, and what the reasons are for this error?
I have two exe files, and i am trying to open the application reference of the other exe when i get this error.
First i thought it has something to do with the .ini file settings, which by the way is nowhere explained...
here my entries:
server.tcp.acl="290000000A000000010000001D00000003000000010000002A10000000030000000000010000000000"

server.tcp.paranoid=TRUE
server.tcp.servic=My Computer/VI Server
tcpServer.log=TRUE
tcpServer.logPath=c:\TestStand\Tools\Image Monitoring PC\serverlog.txt
server.app.propertiesEnabled=TRUE
if i build a simple exe with call on open applicationr eference it works. but not with my main application,
so this is why i need to know what causes the Generic Error???
Is there a possibility that there have to be certain entries in the ini file of the calling exe? and what would those entries be?????????

Error 7 occurred at Open VI Reference with Application Builder

Using Labview 5.1, I am building an application where all the vi's are placed in a single .LLB file. I have one top level vi (with sub-vi's), and one vi that is opened by the Open VI command. The program runs fine with labview installed. I want to make an executable file. I select the top level vi and select the vi that is opened by the Open VI command as a dynamically loaded file. I get an error when I attempt to build the file.
"Error 7 occured at Open VI Reference in Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> Dist Build App Image.vi -> Build application.vi"

Dear Sir;
There are two things that are good to try:
First, create the application in a folder that is closer to the root directory (e.g., c:\myApp). There is a limit to the length (or depth) of the path name to your application's target directory, so, if you are choosing a too long path you might get an error.
Second: The Application Builder reads certain information from the VI in order to determine how to build the executable. To avoid possible errors, either in the build process or in the built executable, make sure the VIs are LabVIEW 5.1 VIs. You can convert your VIs to LabVIEW 5.1 VIs by using the Mass Compile feature (File >> Mass Compile) in LabVIEW before you build your executable. The Mass Compile feature will allow you to select either a directory or a LabVIEW
.llb file to compile.

This indicates a problem with your code. Since you haven't shown us any code we can' tell you what the problem is. Are you trying to open a file that's open by another application? Are you trying to open a file that's on a network, and the network is temporarily unavailable? You should know what file it's trying to open - after all, you wrote the app, right?

I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC. In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED. Cannot create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets." So even though Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch. What do I need to do to allow it to launch?

The problem was solved today. Here's the full story. I'm a Mac user. At first I installed Lightroom CC on my iMac (desktop). I had this problem so I called Adobe, and was referred to a "special unit" . After about an hour the tech solved it for me ... we did a screen sharing and she took control of my computer for a loooong time. Because of language difficulties, at first I wondered if she knew what she was doing but she eventually solved it. Although she couldn't explain exactly what she was doing, she summarized it by saying "it was a permissions problem." I asked if I would have the same issue later when I installed it on my laptop (Macbook Air). She said probably not.
But I did. The same internal error popup arose on launch and launch did not complete on my laptop. I tried chat but no joy so I eventually called Apple Care. I had noticed that on my laptop (and the iMac for that matter), that there was no Library folder after my user name. The Apple tech explained that the Library folder is actually there but it is hidden because it's very easy for users to do some very nasty things to their computer by going astray while in the Library folder. The folder is actually there, but they hide it. I did remember seeing that the tech helping me with my iMac had typed the work "Library" while she was controlling my computer. Basically she had activated the hidden Library folder so she could open the path that Lightroom was trying to follow to create that "Develop Presets" folder. For some reason, the inability to create that folder in the launch process was preventing launch from being completed. The Apple tech said she didn't actually have to do that and activated the Library folder by use of the Go selection on the menu bar. Anyway, once that complete path was replicated and opened, the next step was to go to the Lightroom Permissions field and add my user name to the user categories already there and enable "read and write" permissions to my user name. Once done, I shut down my laptop, and then rebooted. I launched Lightroom and then boom, voila, heavens to betsy, etc. it launched and suddenly a dismal weekend turned into a great one.
I am not a geek, so I hope this makes some sense. I also hope Lightroom launches again tomorrow and beyond!
