Open Storage error 2258

[glib]

Im trying to write a VI to write some data to a TDMS file, and this is my first time using the TDMS commands. I have the "Open Storage", "Write" and "Close Storage" commands all wired up, but my VI never runs because the "Open Storage" express VI comes up with error 2258 saying the file cannot be opened. The file it is trying to "open" does not exsist, but I have tried the overwrite opens with create, open or create, and create or replace and it still always has the same error. What causes this?

Does the folder you're writing to exist?  I haven't used the TDMS VIs, other file write VIs can create a file but not a folder.

Could you please post your VI or a screenshot of the Open Storage configuration? I think this would help to find the cause. Thanks, Mavis

It seems like this was it. I think it auto-defaulted to a certain folder without me realizing it. When I selected a file that already exsisted in a different folder, then changed the filename, it worked. Thanks!
