Task dispose only works from command button

[IntellitoolEng]

Gentlemen,

The follow code I am using from a NIMax example works perfectly from the command button,  However if I call it from another subroutine or put it in a subroutine I get an error Specified task is unavailable or does not exist.  code -200088.  I tried a pause for 2 seconds before mytask.dispose but same error.

Help appreciated.

 If Not (runningTask Is Nothing) Then
            runningTask = Nothing
            myTask.Dispose()
           
        End If

Hello,

The current code snippet does not provide enough information to make a conclusive suggestion. If you could post the complete subroutine and define some of your variables (runningTask, myTask) it would be helpful in troubleshooting the problem.

Given the information provided, the problem seems to stem from how a reference for the task is passed into the subroutine. It seems that your code does run properly when it is not in a subroutine. Have you passed the task reference into your subroutine? Also, where in your code is the error occurring?
