Running Windows 7 and getting this error 5 when trying to write to a file
It seems such a simple thing to do, I have used the write to file on other projects with no issues but
on this Win 7 machine ( and another also) it just doesn't want to play
Solved! Go to Solution.

What does the error message say? "File Already Open." That tells you everything you need to know. You still have a reference open.

In the future do not post Powerpoint presentations for a screenshot. PowerPoint is a proprietary format. Attach a PNG, JPG, or GIF (in that order of preference). DO NOT POST BITMAPS. And do not change the filename of a bitmap to get around the ban.

Sounds like you are trying to view the file with another program while trying to write to it.
Also, please post pictures as a PNG or JPG. Viewing images in a power point or word document is annoying.

I believe the OP pasted his screenshot into power-point.

The reason the file was in a .ppt was because I did a screen snapshot and had to paste it into something.
I never knew about the Powerpoint thing.
The file was not open in anything, I canged the file so it left the default location that LV puts them in to a memory stick
and that worked fine and then I made a new folder on my C drive and that worked also.
I don't understand why it wouldn't work on the default Folder but I don't really care about that anymore.
Maybe just a Win7 thing

Is there a solution here?
