I have a tendency to over think things. Thanks for the help. The code now complies which is great but I am still having issues opening the file off the SD card after it is created to add the data to it. At first I thought it was because the name of the file was longer than 11 characters and changed the name to be 11 but I am still not able to open the file. I have closed the previous file before trying to open another one. I am not sure what makes the .open() fail. I have tried all I can think of after looking at the implementation and am at a loss. Here is the code as of now:
// Serial data logger example.
// Maximum baud rate for a 328 Arduino is 57600.
// Maximum baud rate for a Mega Arduino is 115200.
const uint32_t BAUD_RATE = 115200;
// Maximum time between sync() calls in milliseconds. If Serial is always
// active, you must provide a way to stop the program and close the file.
const uint32_t MAX_TXSYNC_TIME_MSEC = 1000;
const uint32_t MAX_RXSYNC_TIME_MSEC = 2000;
// Pin number for error blink LED.
// Set ERROR_LED_PIN to -1 for no error LED.
const int8_t ERROR_LED_PIN = 22;
const int8_t CHIP_SELECT = 53; // Set to 53 cause using with a Mega
// File names to save files on the SD card
char TxFileName[11];
char RxFileName[11];

The Serial output looks like:
Opening port
Port open
GR_TX07.csv
8
8
8
8
8
Port closed
I looked at the file name to be sure that was being saved out to the global variable like it should be and it is. So if I am looking at the SD card and trying to open a specific file name why would it fail?
