I actually let the user select the filename (let them think they have some freedom :) ) but not the location where the data is store and my timestamp is the folder name :). So the directory structure look like this: .\data\Test Data Files\Jun 08 2004 (152828)\my test.ini which links any binaries files in: .\data\Test Data Files\Jun 08 2004 (152828)\Bin Data\ I am probably overdoing it with the time stamp all the way up to seconds, but since several hardware *could* be use simultaneatly and the data *could* be exchange, I decide to play it safe.
