I've been experimenting with the auto front panel logging facility, I have no trouble in logging data to a file in a vi and retrieving it BUT I can't seem to be able to delete the log file from the top level vi. I get the File already open error message, but i don't seem to be able to close the file....I suspect there's a very simple answer!

...and here's my final vi's Getdatalogs3.vi: programmatically opens simplesine.vi, sets logging on and sets the log file name, calls the vi in hidden mode, runs the vi and then closes the ref. log.vi is then also called programatically which in turn calls simplesine.vi in database mode to get the log file data. log.vi could be replaced with a vi to translate the log file data but it's already done with database function so why bother...

Solved!

One final tweak...this version closes the logged vi properly a the end of the routine. It' not very elegant..Not sure if I'll use it in anger.
