Error 8 at New File

[Ray Friddle]

Well, I have read several posts about this error but they all seem to deal with "opening" a file. I am getting this error when I use the New File VI from the advanced VIs under File I/O.

I'm running Win XP but I don't have MS Office so I don't think that Fast Find program could be the problem. I've also tried wiring 0 to the deny terminal and still no fix.

Note: I do have the LV7 demo installed on my comp, so if that raises any red flags, please let me know what you're thinking.

If anyone can help me out here it would be great. Thanks.

Error 8 means you have permission error. The file your are trying to open/create/replace might be hidden or readonly, or even be opened by another application, or the directory (or its parent) is readonly.

Thanks. I Tried using a different directory and all is working fine now.
