Mike,
I was using states because it seemed earier to use. It works for what I wnat except the delete function. Closing and deleting the file before creating a new one doesnt seem to fix the issue. And I eventually want to include logic that allows whether to keep the file or not. I just want to get around the error so I can complete the program.
I was trying something different with the check to see if the file exist first. When it throws the error, it sends all files to the labview data file, instead of file in the control
