Can I create a file periodically without user input?

[programmindragon]

I am trying to create a file without having a user select the directory or file name. This is needed because I want to run a test for a number of days and create a new text file each day. I do not want to have someone set the file path and name. i want it done automatically. I am using a date vi to get the new file name everyday but I still get a dialog box. Can anyone help me with so I do not get the dialog box? Thank you for your time.

If you wire full path to file path, you should not get dialog.
Try this example: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=EECA254B0EC70B87E0340003BA7CCD71&p_node=%20DZ52027&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_source=External

I think it is what you need.

Hey,
Thats easy in LV all you have to do is wire up the file name with the dir path ,so that you will be getting the whole path ,now everyday as the path changes a new file will be automatically be created and written into.
