No, if I could simply wire the queue reference to both sections of code, I would have. That code is just the basic structure, I "need/really, really prefer" to use Obtain Queue.vi for the full program. Also, this is still growing and I need to figure out what is the problem for future development.
I found the following on NI page "Differences Between Queues in LabVIEW 6.1 and Previous Versions": "...for named queues, each call to Obtain Queue with the same name will result in a new refnum that points to the original queue." So I guess there is some Labview-set limit to the number of refnums in memory, since the computer still has 97% free. I will try using Release Queue.vi within the loop as well as at program termination and report back.
