How to change Open/Create/Replace File.vi to Open File?

What is it specifically that you need to do? There is an Open File function under the Advanced File Functions. If that what you need to do?

Oops, I want to create and save a file automatically.

Use the routine Write Characters to File.vi found under the File IO palette. It has a boolean control on the front panel. If this is set true, data is appended to the end of an existing file, or a new one is created if the file doesn't exist. If the control is set to false, the file is always created new--overwriting any existing file with the same name.
