File to be created must already exist

The problem I am struggling with is that when creating an Excel file, the user is prompted for the file name. They can browse for the file by clicking on the folder icon, but once they get to the directory they want, if they type in a file that does not exist, LabVIEW says that the file cannot be found. So the user has to click on a file that already exists and then change just the very end of the filename to what they want, which is more work than I want the user to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
gj

Sorry for not asking that, I had assumed the problem was more complicated. My fault for not thinking about the basics!

  • SPD 2010 - How to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library

    Hi,
    I've created a workflow using SPD. One of the steps in there is changing the name of the document to a clean name. This workflow fails if a document with this same name already exists in my document library. Is there a way to check in a SPD workflow if
    a document with a given name already exists in my document library ?
    Marc Nemegeer

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know if a file with a given name already exists in a document library.
    You can use a SharePoint Designer workflow to achive it.
    To test to see if a document exists, you need to use condition:
    If Current List:Name  equals  [%Current Item:Title%].docx
    Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

    -Reece,
    We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
    So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
    The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

  • Problem when saving files (file already exists-)

    Woking in CS5.1.
    When I save a document (as opposed to "save as"):
    I get a message "some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced".
    The file I am working on gets saved, but creates a second version "file name-01.ai"
    Any ideas?

    Works fine here CS5 on Windows.
    When I save, it will warn me only if the file with the same name already exists and if I choose to replace it it will replace the existing file keeping the name I'm saving it with.

  • Libreoffice upgrade error: /usr/share/icons/locolor/... already exists

    In trying to upgrate libreoffice today, I get a bunch of errors about files in /usr/share/icons already existing. I checked a bunch and they weren't owned, so I started removing them using `updatedb` followed by `locate libreoffice` to track down those various icon folders and remove them. Unfortunately, the upgrade still fails with complaints about files already existing in /usr/share/icons/locolor/16x16 and ../32x32.
    The problem is that /usr/share/icons/locolor is completely empty. `sudo ls -la /usr/share/icons/locolor` returns nothing, and `locate libreoffice` doesn't get any hits at that location.
    Is there somewhere else pacman stores a cache or tmp file of what it thinks exists in the filesystem? I already did `pacman -Rsc libreoffice-common` and `pacman -Scc` to remove cached packages. No I'm simply trying to install fresh and I get the same errors.
    This is on a computer that I haven't used in quite some time... could a skip of some intermediate version of libreoffice have caused some issues in the various icon locations or package contents? I'm stumped as to why it would think something exists that doesn't
    Any suggestions?

    @Roken: re-read my post to see what the problem is. I have deleted any instances of libreoffice-* inside /usr/share/icons.
    The problem is that pacman is complaining about /usr/share/icons/locolor/.../libreoffice-* files that do not exist. /usr/share/icons/locolor empty and yet pacman thinks there's files in it!
    Per the rest of your comment, appreciated. I practice the same -- for libreoffice, I figure without it installed, I can delete anything to do with libreoffice (I had no custom setups, templates, etc.). I wouldn't dream of it with various libraries, as you mention, without checking the Arch website of forums first.
    So... how to figure out why pacman is seeing "ghost files"?

  • Cannot create a file when that file already exists, but should overwrite

    Hi,
    I need the same file name which is at Sender side and when it reaches to Receiver directory without timestamp.
    for eg., Sender side : Yeswanth.txt
    and also receiver side   :  Yeswanth.txt
    but, here it should overwrite the existing file (because, the sender side file name is always constant) at receiver directory when the job schedules for each time.
    Processing parameters i has given on Receiver side:
    File Construction Mode  :  Create
    put file  : Use Temporary File
    and I enabled the Adapter Specific Message Attributes at Sender side and Receiver side.
    Error getting receiver side at communication channel :
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException:
    Yeswanth.txt: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. : com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550

    Hi Yeswanth
    Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
    You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
    Will this be fine.

    There seem to be already some files in your Target Directory with the same name as your new files (which the CC is trying to place) and the CC is not able to overwrite the existing files and hence the error...check this.
    Check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/69d7cfa4b633eae10000000a1553f6/content.htm

    The file is created. The document received last is saved in each case.
    If you want the created file to be overwritten, select Overwrite Existing File. If you do not set the indicator, processing is stopped until the created file is processed.
    You can only set the indicator if you select Use Temporary File under Put File below.

  • Cannot rename DC, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

    Hi,
    A long time ago we used a domain controller named jacob.mydomain.lan.  It was removed, possibly in a 'dirty' way, and now we cannot re-use that name for another domain controller.  In the meantime we have upgraded to Win 2012 domain controllers
    now, and when I enter this to rename:
    netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /add:jacob.mydomain.lan
    I get the error:  "Unable to add jacob.mydomain.lan as an alternate name for the computer.  The error is:  Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
    If I enter: 
    netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /remove:jacob.mydomain.lan
    I get: "The command completed successfully", but it still refuses to add jacob.mydomain.lan
    After each attempt to add a forward zone dns record 'jacob.ourdomain.lan' has been created.  I always erase this manually afterwards.
    What is the problem? How can I search to find the offending 'file' named 'jacob'?
    Thanks a lot for help on this.

  • The cluster service terminated, error 7024, cannot create a file when that file already exists

    I have a test 2-node Failover cluster using Server 2012 R2
    As of last night the cluster service on one of the 2 nodes is down with this error:
    The Cluster Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: 
    Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
    EventID 7024
    The Cluster service waits 60 sec, tries to start, and the same error occurs again. 
    Any idea where to look to identify which file this error is referring to, or how to go about identifying root cause and getting a solution?
    thank you.

  • Cannot create a file when that file already exists

    When i try to use Photoshop filters: Adaptive Wide Angle, Shake Reduction and Liquify. An error pop up saying "Cannot create a file when that file already exists".
    Just one detail: The liquify filter doen't pop up the error right away, the error occurs just after i press the "ok" button to accept the changes.
    I have already tryed to Reset the preferences, tryed to reinstall the PS, Update the PS, download (and install) the latests drivers to my pc.
    My Pc fit in all the requirements, have the openGL version: 3.0
    I also have Photoshop CS5 installed, in which the liquify filter works perfectly.
    Here i have two Print Screen, how it looks:
    The first image is just right before a click the "Adaptive Wide Angle"
    The second one is right after i clicked it
    If you could help me, i already thank you for wasting you time reading this!

    Resetting the Photoshop preferences does not reset the preferences for the plugins.
    There should be a Plugins folder. If the folder cannot be created it would cause the error you are seeing.
    Can you check the permissions on the ‘Adobe’ folder at: C:\Users\jworthin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
    Can you manually create a Plugins folder in that location or do you get an error?

  • "file already exists"

    Hi there!
    Photoshop CS4 gives me a strange error. When trying to save a psd file as a jpg (using "save as"), it doesn't change the extension when selecting jpg from the format drop down menu. This results in a message, saying that the original file already exists, or when I save it to a different location, I get a psd file with jpg algoritm. Anyone any idea?
    I'm using XP SP3. Other programs do not have this issue. For instance, when working in Adobe Acrobat, and trying to save a pdf in the rtf format, it correctly changes the file extension, and saves the file as rtf.
    Thanks in advance!

     The problem must either lie with Photoshop, or a combination of Photoshop on my XP configuration.
    Most probably, since I don't get that problem. Maybe try installing the 11.0.1 update (if you haven't yet). If that doesn't work, then try to figure out the extent of the issue.  Try PS in a different Windows user account (create a new one), and turn off the unnecessary stuff that runs in the background on your computer. If you're not familiar with msconfig, then see this document for turning of background stuff:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404984_en-us
    Let us know if either of these change the situation, and hopefully we can help you out from there.
    Also, have you installed any plug-ins for PS? Maybe one of these is interfering with Photoshop's jpeg plug-in somehow. Check out this document:

  • Another save for web devices error - File already exists?

    I've been using the same Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 for about a year now, and only now this problem occurs to me.
    Whenever I try to preview gifs in any browser (tried a few), I get the error message "Could not complete this operation. A file by this name already exists."
    Tried renaming the files, replacing them, creating new ones, tried to enter preview on old files that previously worked, but always get the same error message.
    I did some research and tried deleting both the main Save for Web and Devices pref file, and the other so called "hidden one" in the plugins folder. I've tried reinstalling photoshop from scratch. Nothing works.
    Please help me. I'm near desperate :/

    Ah, sorry, now I see what you're doing.
    I haven't had the issue myself, but I can guess that one or more of the temporary files it needs to create in order to show them in your browser must be failing in creation.  Check the permissions on the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable - you should have Full Control of your TEMP area..
    Specifically, it creates a "Save for Web" subfolder there.  You might be able to delete that entirely in order to start afresh.
    Just to test, I've opened Photoshop CS4, entered Save for Web & Devices, and pressed the Preview button myself and it worked okay here...  Your TEMP area is likely different than mine.

  • Skgfrcre 01119, dbf file already exists.

    Now I've done it. Migrating data from msaccess to oracle, I thought to rebuild without errors about things preexisting by dropping the tablespace over on oracle. Now I get skgfrcre 0119, file already exists, for the dbf file.
    Is there a way to tell the to-oracle migration to create the database with "reuse"? I tried generating a migration script, but don't see a tablespace definition statement there.
    Many thanks for any pointers. I'm pretty green at oracle, must sink or swim.

  • Cannot backup my files / copy my files and folders due to error message " The operation can't be completed because an item with the name ".DS_Store" already exists. "

    Hi Apple community!
    I have a [rather worrying] problem.
    When I try to copy all my files from my documents on my mac [or the entire documents folder] into an external drive, I get this error message
    " The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “.DS_Store” already exists. "
    I am not given an option to skip this file or anything else.
    But I simply cannot complete the operation!
    I have tried deleting a few of the .ds_store files, [both in the original and in the destinations]
    but no success.
    The same thing keeps happening.
    At first, this was just happening when I was trying to backup to my dropbox folder [the one on my mac's harddrive, which gets synced to the cloud],
    but then I tried to back up my documents to my external hard drive, and I realized it is giving me the same error message.
    So effectively, it seems I cannot backup my files anywhere!
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
