simple activex problem

I am getting an error message when I try to use the activex software in Labview 8.5 to recieve data from an MTi inertial sensor. It is an Error - 2147467259, unspecified. All I am doing is opening the reference, reading data, and closing it but it does not seem to work. The error seems to occur at the close block but I do not get any data out as well. Any suggestions?

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are saying. I have a property node immediately following the open reference block but it still gives an error.

yeah, although I'm not sure if this applies to my vi. Should I delete the open and close reference blocks? are they needed?

You shouldn't have to delete the open and close reference blocks (they should be required in this case, I believe). I had a look at the example and the picture you supplied. I believe you need something like the property node in the attached picture immediately following your open reference.

ok so I tried putting a property node to get the ID but it gives me the same error. would this problem have something to do with the communication between the pc and sensor?

I think I got it, I can read some data now. It was just an initialization problem with the sensor. Thanks for the help

Even I thought i the problem might point to the sensor .As corys had suggested,It shld have solved the issue if it is with respect to Property node.
