suppress error pop-ups

[Sloppy]

is there a way to suppress the LV error window that pops up, for example, when you select Cancel from a file dialog. I don't want the error dialog to pop up telling me I have error 43 if the user clicks cancel. I don't want anything to happen in that instance.

Thanks

If you drill down into the VI that is generating the pop up window, you should somewhere find a general error handler. The general error handler is what is creating the dialog. If you remove this VI, you should no longer get the pop up window. However, I would recommend replacing the general error handler with some sort of error handling.

HI Matt

Well I did some drilling and I'm in the general error handler.vi diagram but I'm a little nervous about playing with anything in here. Anything more specific would be helpful

thanks again

Sorry, I should have mentioned this before but the first thing you will want to do when editing these VIs is first save them to a different directory (not the VI.lib folder) with a different name. This way if you make a mistake and save it you will always still have the original VI showing up on your palette. I have attached a modified version of the "Write to Spreadsheet File.vi" (one of the VIs that will display a pop up message). You can compare it to the one that comes off the palette. I replaced the "General Error Handler.vi" with an Error Out cluster. Now an error is still generated but it won't bring up the dialog box.

Thank you Matt, appreciate your efforts.

I will have a look at it.

Hi Matt,

Is there any chance you could come up with something like that for the "Write Characters to File vi"?

I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks...
