Creating a file periodically without any user input

[programmindragon]

I am trying to create a file without having the user tell it where to go or what to call it. I have it set up to make its own name using the date. I thought it was set up to run automatically but when I run the program it comes up with a dialogue box for user input. Thank you for your time.

In order to better understand the problem, can you please specify what the dialog box is asking for?
thanks

Also, what function or VI are you using to do the file write.
