LabVIEW 2011 file selection fails to fill in the file name into the "File name:" field

In LV2011 I am selecting a text file while my code is running. The "file name:" field is not populated with the selected file name.

This is inconvenient, especially if I want to modify a file name by one or some few characters.

How do i make LV 2011 behave like the previous versions?

Hello magyar:

 

I have been looking over your post and haven’t been able to reproduce what you are experiencing.  Would you mind posting an example of your code so I can try it out on my machine?  Thanks.

Thank you fot your reply it causd  me to find the problem.

I figured it out while I was trying to extract the applicable section of my code to send it to you.

I had an asterisc wired to the "default name" input of the "File dialog" VI.

Now I am not wiring anything to the "default name" input of the "File dialog" VI and it works just fine.

I am sorry for your lost time.
