read from spreadsheet: a way to automatically continue if the file is missing? (Rather than having to push "continue")

Hi,

I'm using the "read from spreadsheet file.vi" to read in data from a file that may or may not be present.  The data isn't required - it's optional data; nice to have but not everybody will use it.

Of course, if the file isn't present, I get an "Error 7 occurred at Open File+.vipen File", and I have the choice of pushing either the "Continue" or "Stop" button.   What I'm wondering is:  is there a way to just have LabVIEW automatically continue if the file is missing?  Perhaps it could alert the user to the missing file, but continue anyway?   Normally I'd handle this by wiring the Error output of the function to an error indicator.  But the "read from spreadsheet file.vi" function doesn't appear to have an error output.

I think my description of my question is sufficient, but I'm attaching a snippet of my LabVIEW code that shows the read from spreadsheet file function in question, and the error I get when the file is missing.

Thanks,

dan
