it's easy if you only want to call external software in the labview and save the data by itself. you can use Calling System Exec VI.

Thanks and I liked to add that the software I want to access is already loaded and I have method to control it from outside. I just want to know how to access a software when it is running on a computer using LabVIEW.

I want to save data from a detector using labview but data should be saved in a format that is readable by another software. I want that labview start that software programmatically and save data in its exact format which can be opened later on. The software should run in minimized mode. Any help or guidance is appreciated please. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I have tried this technique. But when I try to run this, it gives following error message. "Cursor Locktype is invalid, Open the recordset with a valid Cursor locktype for this operation". Also recordset count returns -1. Please guide where I am wrong?

I am new to labview. I have a database in ms-access and using T&M student toolkit to use it in LabVIEW. All is ok but when I want to use recordset tools for moving next, first or last record, I have problem. I dont know what is the reference that I should connect in new recordset to access my database so that I can move and edit records one by one in the table. or any other solution. Thanks in advance please.
