I'm trying to save a text file with data that the user has put into textboxes on a form. When they click the save button I want a txt file to be saved in a specified folder on my computer automatically. I would like the name of the txt file to be named the same as one of the textboxes on the form.

Currently my code is set so that the txt file is created and saves the data from the text boxes just fine. However the code I have right now brings up a dialog box after I click my save button and has me choose where to save it on the computer and what to name the file. How do I write code to make this step automatic?

Thanks

Here is my code:

PrivateSub WriteRecipeFile()
'It is in these first few line of code that I need the help with
Dim Recipe As StreamWriter
Dim results As DialogResult
results = SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog
If results = DialogResult.OK Then
Recipe = New StreamWriter(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, False)
'Everything Below here works great

Hi

You can remove the lines that shows the SaveFileDialog and insert something similar

sText = TextBox1.text & ".txt"
sPAth = "c:\temp\"
sFile = sPath & sText
Recipe = New StreamWriter(sFile, False)

instead of this

results = SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog
If results = DialogResult.OK Then
Recipe = New StreamWriter(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, False)
