Dialog box with default starting location?

[rickford66]

Running LV2010.  I want to prompt a user to save a file by opening a dialog box.  This way the user can select the file and location of the file.  Problem is, I want to open the dialog box starting in a default folder that I choose.  The LV help for file functions say that if I wire a path to the file (use dialog) input and the file doesn't exist, it will throw an error.  Is there a way to get it to open a dialog box that starts in a default folder?  Thanks.

File Dialog.vi has a 'start path' input. A dialog box will pop up starting at this path.

Cool, that works.  Thanks.
