suppressing error 8 occurred at open file dialog box

[reniam]

Hello,

I am getting randomly occurring "error 8 occurred at open file" dialog boxes every couple of days. This is stopping all of the data collection on all of the vi's on the pc. In order to continue all that is needed to hit continue. Is there a way to suppress this dialog box?

Hello,

Try to figure out which VI of your application is producing this error... maybe you can upload a part of your code ?

Thanks,

No real time to spend diagnosing the problem; we are in the middle of a scientific experiment and I've been trying for a couple of weeks. The error is random and I have 4 main vi's running with dozens of sub vi's. The vi's run perfectly except for this error that occurs every 3 to 7 days. I remember reading somewhere several years ago on how to suppress dialog boxes. This is all I need at this time.

There's a vi called Clear Error, in the Dialog and User Interface section of the palette.  If you wire the error out of the offending vi to the error in of the clear error, your problem should be solved.

Technically I think you can wire the error out to just about anything that ends (as in, to the side of a case structure or loop or something, so long as nothing is connected to it further).  I think as long as LV thinks that you've handled the error (i.e. wired anything out of the error out), the dialog box does not come up.

Sorry, I was having some trouble with the forums (pages not loading properly?)

Anyways, here's the image.


This does not cause an error, at least on my machine.  And I have no path called "1"

I think what you need to do it to go to Tools >> Options >> Block Diagram Options >> uncheck the 2 options "enable automatic error handling ..."

I think these option are activated by default, and that's wh some LabVIEW VIs will prompt when they generate an error.

Let me know if this solves your problem.
