You may also get the error under Windows NT, although I suspect your running under XP?

If you need any more information please let me know,

Hi Rob,

My issue is not the pop up window, my issue is the error. I would like to know what causes this issue and also what is the best way to contain it.

Thanks,

Mudda.

Hi Mudda,

The most likely reason for error 62 is that the VI that opened the connection has finished executing and has closed, when a VI finishes executing in LabVIEW the resources are automatically closed to ensure any open resources arn't left dangling. To get arounds this simply ensure that the VI that opened the TCP connection remains running as long as the connection is needed, you may even want to consider making a seperate VI that does all of your TCP functions and leave it running in the background.

I hope this answers your question, all the best

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the information. I have Error handling for error 66, If I do the same thing for error 62 will it work. error 62 and error 66 are they similar?

Thanks,

Mudda.

Hi Mudda,

Error 62 and 66 are similar, 66 is basically a trap error for when the connection is closed by the peer - error handling it the same way as error 66 should do the job for you.

All the best,

[Mudda]

Thanks Rob.

No problems, if you have any other questions regarding this please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck!

I'm getting error 62 on the server side sometimes and I'm not sure why. I'm pretty confident that none of my VIs are being closed as post number 4 suggests. What other reasons are there that cause error 62?
