File Delete problems

[Mike]

I have written a vi and the first thing it needs to do is delete an existing
results file from a previous run.
I am trying to use the file delete vi, FIle I/O --> Advanced-->Delete. But
it is not working. I get a file error 6 as follows:

Warning 6 occurred at an unidentified location.
Possible reasons:
LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error.

I know the path is correct, because I use the Dup path output from the
Delete vi when I write out the new rersults file.

Any help is appreciated...

Hi,
One question:
Have you closed the file before deleting?
I'm afraid that if you work with file and don't close it you will have problems with delete.
Use "Functions->File I/O->Close file.vi" before Delete.

Good luck.

The file should be closed, but I will add this to see if it helps anyway.

Thanks, mike
