Making a output text file read-only.........

[SamPond]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to have Labview output a read-only file. But I can not seem to find a way to do it. The file that it outputs is just a text file, but I do not want the people reading the file to be able to change it. I know how to change it in DOS/Windows, but I would like it to be automaticly done by Labview.

Any suggestions??

Guess I should add that this is for use with Labview 8.0.

Thanks

Sam

I don't know if it's called the same in 8.0 but in 8.2 there is the function Set Permissions. In 7.x or older, it's called Access Rights.

Dennis,

Yes, there is a set of permission fuctions but that wasn't quite what I wanted to do. But thanks anyways.
