The data out from the read and into the write are identical, yeah, but you've overlooked a pretty important terminal on the write node:

The "prepend array or string size" parameter needs to be set to false or LV prefixes a value to your data when it writes it back to disk. Pretty silly default value for that parameter, if you ask me.

Thx, but as u can see, i have wire a false constant (LV 2010 constant) into the "prepend array or string size".

Which version of Excel are you using? I found with Excel 2007 it worked fine if the I gave the copy an extension of .xlsx

U gut right. The original excel file whas a .xlsx so if a give the copy the extension of .xlsx it wors fine.

Thx for all help.

The excel progran is not open when I run this vi. and if a save the data arr from the origial .xls file in another array controll and then read the coppy .xls file as binary and compere those data arrays it is identical. And as i wrote, this vi work whit anny ather file except .xls

Hi!

I try to make a copy of a excel file by "Read from Binary File" and then save the binary array whit "Write to Binary File".

But the copy file is corrupt..

This is just a labb now, but the goal is to send the .xls file over RS232 to anoter computer.
