If you are using write to spreadsheet file or write characters to file, you should wire "append to file" terminal TRUE, if you are creating a new file using open/create/replace and then writing, you should wire the position mode to 1 to write beginning at the end of the file.
Hope this helps

You should make the "append to file?" of the "write to the spreadsheet
file.vi" true.The default setting is false.Then the new data will writes
over the previous data.
