Deny Access Details

This function temporarily overrides permissions for a specific instance of the file. This function does not modify permissions for the file itself. When you grant access to an instance of a file, LabVIEW removes the override caused by denying access to the file so that the file permissions and the deny mode associated with refnum determine whether other refnums, VIs, or applications can read from or write to that instance of the file. After the file refnum is closed, the permissions for that instance of the file are no longer overridden.

Note  You cannot deny access to a datalog file.
