Creating an absolute path

[JonRod]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to save data points to an excel file and I kept getting the error:

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  The path is empty or relative. You must use an absolute path.

tc_cral(\usfile01)\Common\High Strain Rate\Test.csv

I'm kind of lost on this issue at the moment and have tried to look up some definition of what a relative and absolute path means.  I must not be fully understanding the definition so if anyone can 'dumb' it down for me I'd appreciate it.  I have also attached the top level vi image of the section where I'm trying to save the data points.

A relative path is a path based on another path.  You need an absolute path which should include the volume.  I'm not seeing a volume or server location in your path.

Thanks a lot Crossrulz!  That was pretty dumb of me to overlook that.  Always appreciate the help from the people on this forum!

This question has nothing to do with the topic.  You really should have started a new thread.

But that module is the Boolean Crossing PtbyPt.  The help explains it pretty well.
