Error number 7 when LabView tries to open file

I get the following error when LabView tries to open a file -
" Error 7 occoured at Open File+.vipen File.
Possible reasons:
Labview: File not Found .
or
NI-488: Non-existent board.
Having searched through the archives here the error usually occurs when LabView cannot find the file. Well this time i know the file is there, i have even used the 'read from spreadsheet file' vi with the dialog box option to show LabView where the file is. When i copy just the open file code into another (blank) vi it runs correctly but in the middle of all my other code it kicks up this error. I ahve had the code working no problem before so this problem has just arose over the past week. Very frustrating.
Any help appreciat

Hi,
You need to check the full path that you are passing to the Open File+.vi. Make sure that if you are deriving the file from say the file constants such as the Current VI's Path, that if the VI is contained in a LLB, then this will be in the path name. eg ..\myLib.llb\myActualVI.vi. Therefore, you will have to strip out the llb. Similarly, if you have built an exe file, the pathname will contain the myEXE.exe.
Hope this provides some pointers. If not then post your VI, so others can help pin point your problem.

  • Error Message when installing updates: "Cannot open file (-3001)"

    I have a MacBook3.1. with Mac OS 10.5.7. Three days ago I installed 5 to 6 updates for iTunes, iDVD, AirPort Express, Java, etc. After the installation, I could not access the internet because my AirPort wireless on the Mac was off (non-existent). I could not even scan for my network. I could not access iTunes, in fact when I opened iTunes, the application got stuck and I could not even "force quit" the application. I went to the Apple Store and was told to Re-install the original OS discs (10.5) received with the MacBook, which I did. After the installation things seemed to be back to normal. I was able to access the internet, etc. However, I could not open iTunes because and I paraphrase "the iTunes version that created/supported the application is not.....". OK so I need to update the software. Now, when I tried to update the software with the newly installed "re-install" 10.5 OS I received the following message:
    "A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
    Meanwhile, I was searching the internet googling the above message. So internet access was not the issue. I decided to create a "test" admin account to see if I could update from another account. Low and behold, I was able to access and update each new software update from the new "test" account and ultimately open iTunes from my personal (main) account.
    Very confused and could use some guidance. Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    My general rules:
    Never install more than one update at a time - especially those requiring a reboot.
    Whenever possible, use the manual updates and for OS updates, always use the manual combo update.
    If a problem does occur, reinstall any "bad" updates with manual updates. Yes, they can be reapplied.
    Again, one at a time.

  • In the past 2 days I was receiving an error code when I tried to open Firefox, telling me it was an only good til 9/24/2011 and the date was 9/25/2011. The error code was: error code: sec_expired_certificate.

    Secure connection failed...xml.freecause.com:443 invalid

    The security certificate for the xml.freecause.com domain has expired because it was not renewed in time.
    You most likely have an extension that tries to contact that server and you will have to disable that extension until the site has renewed its certificate.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Photoshop CS6 and PS CC error message when trying to open file

    The following error occurs when I try to open a file from Bridge of Windows Explore:
    "The procedure entry point
    ?ProposeSearchBounds@StructuralImageEditing@@YA?AVBox@I@EA
    BV?$point2_J@gil@boost@@AEBV21@M@Z could not be located in
    the dynamic link library PatchMatch.dll"
    This started happening latge in the day recently and usually a reboot solved the problem
    but i am getting this every time I try open an image. What is the problerm and what are
    the solutions?
    Thank you john

    Just thought I would update. I reinstalled PS CS6 since I had the disk available and the error message did not come back. I then launched Bridge CC and I was able to launch from Bridge without the error message but the file opened in PS CS6 so I checked my file associations in Bridge CC and they were all set to CS6 (odd) but I changed the associations for jpeg and NEF to PS CC and I tried to launch the files. ERROR MESSAGE it is the same one as I noted in yesterdays message. Any suggestions?
    When I did the reinstall of CS6 it was right over the top of PS CS6. Should I do the same with CC? How do I do that? Just download from Creative Cloud Manager?
    Thanks

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

    I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

    Try this. It worked for me.
    I discovered the same problem.  I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format.  Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story.  Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
    These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
    FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
    SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop.  Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
    THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work.  iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app.  Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
    FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP."  ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
    FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself).  Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT:  iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

    This morning when I tried to open my CC2014 Photoshop, it started to open, then quit suddenly. Same with Dreamweaver and InDesign. I am a professional and do not have the time to screw around with this. When I tried to run CC app, I get an error that says "Adobe creative cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from 'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'." I did so and tried to run the app and got the same error. I tried the cleaner and it removed all of my apps, then I tried to install again, and got the same error. I am getting desperate now, I have clients waiting for their projects. I need help, please.

    Allisonf55952352 have you utilized the steps listed in Error: "Failed to install" | Creative Cloud Desktop to resolve the current error?  If not do you have any questions regarding the steps listed with the document?

  • I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks.  The last time I opened it was 1 week ago.  Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

    I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks.  The last time I opened it was 1 week ago.  Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing. 

    Hi Tracie,
    I upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9.5, numbers spreadsheet is saved. Upon re-opening, it appears to be frozen, a warning "file is invalid as index.xml file is missing". I checked, and the file is not "locked". This appears to occur only with using the new numbers app. When I open previous spreadsheets from old iWorks, no such problem occurs.
    How did you resolve your problem?
    Would appreciate any help here.
    Thanks,
