https://ni.lithium.com/t5/LabVIEW/determine-files-open/m-p/184036#M106919 Hi,<BR /> <BR /> The only way to do this is to make a custom "open file" that stores all references (in a buffer vi). The close vi can remove references that are closed. The buffer will have a list of and all unclosed file references, so a close all is easy to make.<BR /> <BR /> Regards,<BR /> <BR /> Wiebe.<BR /> "Castechvb" &lt;x@no.email&gt; wrote in message news:183705@exchange.ni.com...<BR /> Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I had an issue with LabVIEW apparently not closing files correctly after writing to them. After some time spent checking and trying different things I found that it was actually the network server locking them and not labview!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My question is this though, is it possible to get a list of open files from labview OR is there a generic 'Close All' files facility? (Note: It is input or output files I want a list of not open VI's.). It would have been very useful to have been able to check.
