Can you rename the bmp file with a simple name and try to read again?

Still the same error is coming

The VI works just fine. Can you try with a different image?

Can you Navigate down to the Read BMP File data.vi and check where the error occurs? Are you using this vi along with any othe piece of code which may be giving error to the input of this vi?

Save the bmp file once again from paint as bitmap file and check.

Now it is working , so what could be the problem? i just saved it in paint that's all. now can i do it using labview because in my code the user selects the image which is a snapshot from a camera, so i dont want user to open again and save it in paint . what could be the reason behind the error.

The file format might be different and you could have just renamed to .bmp. Check the file format of the snap shot and use the same file format function to save the image.
