reading data from a .txt file

[laura12345]

I am using LabView to open a .txt file created by another program  (fibox) every second and copy data out.  Meanwhile, the fibox program writes data to the .txt file every second.  The problem is that eventually the fibox program crashes (this only happens when I run it simultaneous with this particular LabView program).  Is there some way to fix this by altering my LabView program (without messing with the fibox program)?  Thanks!!!

Have you tried setting your file access in LV to read-only? Check-out the documentation on the Open/Create/Replace File function.
