Augustus,

The CFileDialog class simply displays a dialog box and let's you retrieve information from it ie filename and location. It doesn't actually do any opening,reading,writing or closing of the file.

Use the CFileDialog to get information for your file. I strongly recommend using CStdioFile or some other derivative of CFile. These all encapsulate the fopen, fclose etc. They make it very easy to write/read to a file.

After you have got the file information from the dialog box create an instance of CStdioFile using the information you have collected. Write to the file and close it.
