Error 6

[Newton2this]

I recently upgraded to LV2009 and am trying to run programs that were written with LV8.6.1.  I have relatively simple subvi's that use the 'read from spreadsheet file' node but everytime i run them I get the 'attached' error 6 message.  Any suggestions regarding a solution would be appreciated.  Thanks, John

Are you SURE the file is tab,comma,space delimited?

Paths (stored as constants, locals, globals, in files, etc) may have changed now that your LabVIEW (2009) is in a different directory than it used to be (8.6.1).

Also, Read from Spreadsheet File is a VI, not a "node". Check your hierarchy and make sure things are linked properly.

The files that I am currently reading from are space delimited and as you can tell new to LV2009 and upgrading LV from a previous version.  Could you send me an example of a properly structured file hierarchy or suggestion if possible so I could compare it to mine??  I will be investigating path search you have already suggested in the mean-time.  Thank you for the help.  John

Go to the Hierarchy ("Alt+V" then "H") and then turn on "Full VI path in Label" under the View menu (or go "Alt+V" then "P"). Hover over VI's and make sure they are the expected filename & path.

An easier way for a quick check of paths (if you use the Project structure) is to turn on the "Show Item Paths" under the Project menu.

Thank you!  The 'alt-v' then 'p' trick definitely helped.  I will compare vi paths with the previous hierarchy in LV8.6.1.  Have a good day!  John
