How to do file i/o in labview

OK, the team and I struggled with this one today.

We want to write out a log file to trace some values as they change. We open the file at the beginning of the program and close it at the end (same place motors are opened and closed). Inside of a loop, we write to a text file passing in a string of characters.

The file name is c:\trace.txt, the open, writes and close work with no errors. But I cannot find the file that should be created. I even ran Filemon on the laptop to see if I could see an I/O to a file.... no luck.

There's gotta be a way to write to a file in labview, any idea what I am missing?

Many thanks in advance.
