I looked this up here and on the DS but have not found a solution. I keep getting a "Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI 'xyz.VI'" From what I could glean it's network related and has been around since at least v8.0. I can go days without getting it, then one or two days out of a week I'll get it over 100 times.
 "Save as" something else is out of the question. And copying everything from the network drive to the local drive is out of the question as well. Is there a patch somewhere to fix this? It's really annoying.

QUOTE (crelf @ Aug 29 2008, 01:32 PM) What version of LabVIEW are you using? Can you post a VI that you're having this issue on? Pick one. Every one I've worked on today. And it just so happens it's not doing it anymore.  Everyone is leaving early for the weekend so it has to be related to the office network somehow. I'll see if I can duplicate it again ... but I ain't stickin' around either. Not even for LAVA.

I know no other solution than upgrading. By the way, if you "save as", and don't change the name, it will ask you if you want to overwrite, say "yes", and most of the time it saves the VI succesfully ; weird.. Hope this helps -------------------- ____________________________________________________________________________________

Didn't work.  This issue is like being nibbled to death by a duck.

Apart from upgrading LabVIEW and working on a USB external hard drive and copying twice a day to the network drive until you can upgrade. I do understand it's a workaround you might not like but that's what I did during 3 month to get ride of the the ducks

That's probably what I'll end up doing. It was fine this morning, but just before I started to build my application I start getting the error again. Argggggghhhh!!!!
