Go to File I/O / Advanced File Functions / File Dialog.
This vi have input parameter "Select Mode".
Set it to "Select Existing or New Directory". User will see File Dialog where will be button "select current directory". It means that user go to some directory and press this button, so vi will return path to this directory.
Use vi "Build Path" and give him any file name.
I believe you understand me.
Good luck.
