Replace a file without any User interaction popup

[supriyav]

When i'm trying to write data on an existing file using the "Write to Spread Sheet file",an user interaction popup is displayed.

The popup asks the user to "replace" the existing file or "cancel" the change.

What i'm trying to do is to replace the file without any user interaction :!:

Pls do the needful

The utility routine "Backup and delete file.vi" doies exactly this It deletes the old .bak and renames the current file to the backup (if they exist) and then it returns the path for you to write without a popup!

Use the Open LabVIEW Libraries indes at
