Thanks to the guys that offered suggestions. I forgot to mention that the application from where I need to grab data is a .exe. The methods suggested only worked (or I couldn't make them work, anyway) for a regular VI and not an .exe. What I initially envisioned was something as simple as selecting the data from the Front Panel with the mouse and pasting that into a spreadsheet somewhere.
I still really haven't found a work-around for this ... luckily, my test was pretty short and I could re-run it without too much time loss. Still looking for suggestions ...
