Thanks Nathan,
I took out naming the queue and tested it and it seemed to work. Yes I am running two separate vis (hitting the arrow button). I have no need to reference the queue by name in either vi. I prefer wiring to ensure I don't have leaks or race conditions. So I think I am on the same page as you. As I mentioned earlier I do have release queues for the queues I obtain so I think I am good to go. Thank you for your responses
