User defined path, assigned file name

I would like enable the user to define the directory where the file created will be saved but keep the naming convention I implemented the same.  I set up a small, and yes crude, program to test out the functionality of the code and its just not working out.  Any suggestions?  I'm, using Lab View 6.1.

Try replacing the File Dialog function with a Build Pth function.

It looks like you want to append two parts of path together to build a complete path. The File dialog does not do this, it just lets the user select a path. You can then use that path to build the complete path with your filename using the Build Path function.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
