Error 8 occurred at Open File (will not accept a path constant)

[Jeem]

I am trying to have my vi automatically create files with out having a dialog box pop up to ask if it is okay to save the file, but get this error when I wire a constant to the path. I have tried all the suggestions posted. If I leave the File Path unwired the file is written (after the prompt).

I have permission to write files
The advisory dialogue input is wired False on the open/create/replace file.vi
LabView 7.1.1 (fully recompiled)

You should take a look at the knowledge base document for this answer and if that does not suffice then you will have to post your code so that we may see how you are using the file i/o.

Here is a simplified file

In your file path control, you don't have a file name. Creating a file name and wiring it to the default name input is incorrect. The default name input (to quote the on-line help) "is the name you want to appear as the initial file or directory name in the dialog box. The default is an empty string."

Thank You.
