Choose Dialog prompte for write to spreadsheet vi

[Cycy]

Hi,

I'm using labview 8. I need to prompt the user to save data to a spreadsheet but I need to give different prompts. e.g. Choose file to write data 1.

I have tried saving a modified copy of the Write to Spreadsheet VI but this works only once as the original cod is called up subsequently. Is there an easier way to do this?

Thank you

Cycy

Instead of Write to Spreadsheet VI

Use these File I/O functions

1. Open/Create/replace file function, here you have an option to set 'prompt' that appears above the list of files and directories, or folder, in the file dialog box.

2.Convert your array to a spread sheet string using strings palette>>'array to spreadsheet string' function

3. write this string to file using 'write to text' file

4. 'close' the file

Look at pic

Hope this helps

Maybe  you could use
File IO -> Adv. File Funcs -> File Dialog
