Can LabVIEW display, on restart, the last filename entered before termination?

[westke]

I have several filename entry fields that are not changed frequently. I would like LabVIEW to retain the last filenames entered, so that those names are displayed when the program is terminated and restarted the next day. Is this possible?

A simple way to do that would be to use a config file (for instance INI file, because open/read/write VIs are built in LabVIEW).

Just put a section called [filename], with 2 keys "default_file" and "last_file_used".
When you stop the application, the "last_file_used" key is updated and you read it the on the next start.

You will find example to use confuguration file in Help >> Find example...
