How to prevent the 'Save [html] Report to File' from overwriting an existing file.

[scop]

Using LabVIEW 2011 on Windows XP, SP3.

I am trying to use the Save Report to File vi, specifically a html report.
It allows replace and create file.

In my application, I would like to create or open the file. When I try to edit to include those options
and save the vi something breaks as it appears to be an OOP vi.

How can I perform this functionality?
Thanks,
Steve Scoppettuolo

Wait, what do you mean you try to "edit to include those options"? Are you actually modifying a core LabVIEW VI? If you are STOP. NEVER modify VIs shipped with LabVIEW.

Your question is fundamentally not clear. Why do you want to open the file if you're trying to save the report? Are you trying to append to an existing report? If so, the New Report VI has a "template" input. If you specify an existing report file it will be opened for editing. Please review the documentation on the report VIs.

Yes, the above reply is correct. You really don't want to be editing the NI VIs if that is what you are doing.
