[RESOLVED] Common Dialog Problem

Hello!


So far i save data by running a measurement, and afterwards open common dialog an save the data under a path.
What I would like to do, is to define the path where data shall be stored before running the measurement and save the data under the predefined path.
I tried a bit around but found no solution. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Philip

You could store the selected path to a variable and after the measurement process, store the data to that location...:wave:

You could also store the path in a database table field. In that way, you can easily change it if need be without having to recode or recompile.

what path do you want to save the data to?

thx for the replies, I found a solution. I did like this:

Code:

---

Dim fs
Dim f
    With CDFilepath  'open a with statement as there is a lot of code
        .DialogTitle = ""  'sets the dialog title
        .Flags = cdlOFNPathMustExist + cdlOFNNoChangeDir
        .filename = ""
        .InitDir = "C:\"  'sets the initial directory
        .Filter = "ASCII files (*.txt;*.log)*.txt;*.log"  'sets the file types
        .ShowSave
        sFileText = .filename
    End With
  Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set f = fs.CreateTextFile(sFileText, True)
 
iFileNo = FreeFile            available for use by the FileOpen function.
Open sFileText For Append As #iFileNo
Print #iFileNo,
Close #iFileNo
