Write File.vi does not allow for offset entry

[MikeW]

I am using a Write File.vi to write data to my hard drive like always but I have never used the offset before and it is not allowing me to enter an offset value and the error message does not make sense. The error says you have wired different data types but then say source long, sink long which are the same in my eyes.

Is there a trick to using the offset?

Mike,
find attached example ... maybe is what you need.

Regarding the trick for offset use, could be "pos mode" input. Also, be sure that pos mode + pos offset combination is not somewhere out of your file.

Hope this helps.
