On a side note, it took almost a day to get this thread going, possibly because of your generic and uninteresting subject line. Most will just skip it.

Obligatory comment about the Unofficial Forum Guidelines, which mentions titles.  Also I found out about the thread because I get an email whenever someone mentions "TDMS" in a post.  I expect to get an email, about this post since I mentioned it again.

Is WFH an option? My price is high but the cost is lower than unsupportable deliverables.

Also note that there are some hardwired paths (Merge TDMS (SubVI).vi), meaning the program will only run on this exact computer with this exact HD arrangement containing this exact folder hierarchy and these exact files. 😮 While they generate an error if they don't exist, the caller discards the error (second picture) and you'll never know about it! Way too fragile!

If for example IT did some maintenance (Maybe one of the drives failed!) and moved drive letters around, things will fail without alerting the user. Can you see if these paths (There are a few more) are still valid using the windows file manager?

Yes, the main VI is just plain horrible. I simply don't trust it. Event that subVI could have just used an array of strings as input instead of handfuls of variants that get converted back to string inside the subVI. Why??? That's just one big hairball with inputs on all sides! 😮
