appending to a file path

[Justin_t]

I am tring to save screenshot of the front panel after my VI has run. I have the program doing that. What I would also like it to do is save the file path of each shot as asingle seachable file. For instance my saved file path would be something like c:\screenshots\tb000001. The "tb000001" would be entered/scanned from bar code on the front panel and would change after each test. For now I have left the file path empty and it pormpts the user to enter manally. THANKS!

And?

Have you written your own VI or at least tried to do something?

So you have a dialog window to allow the user to scan name?  Once you know the name of your file (as a string), use Build Path to create the full path for the file you want to save.
