I have a project with autopopulating folders in 32-bit LabView 2013 on a 64-bit Win7 machine that keeps corrupting the filenames of most Microsoft Office files in the folder. The project folder is on a shared network drive. If I open the Microsoft office file from another computer on the network, ie. not the one running the LabView project, after saving and closing the Office file the filename will be automatically changed to a random 8-character sequence of letters and numbers followed by ".tmp". I can rename the file and open it again without problem, but this becomes quickly tiresome. The problem only happens when opening the file from another computer.
The list of file types tested is:
problems with:
- word (docx)
- excel (xls, xlsx)
- powerpoint (pptx)
not affected:
- text files (txt)
- MS Project files (mpp)
- MS access files (accdb)
Any thoughts? I realize I could just avoid opening these files on other computers when the LabView project is open, but sometime this is unavoidable.
