If you are using a variable for the filename or path, the Save/Export 
dialog can only include the protocol (i.e. file: or filewin:) and the 
variable name. (The protocol can be either entered directly in this 
dialog or can instead be part of your variable's value.)

If you are trying to use "filewin://SERVERNAME/FolderName/$filename" in 
the save/export window, then it will literally try to save a file named 
"$filename", which is probably an illegal name with the dollar sign.

You should instead set a variable named $filepath and set it to the full 
path and file name:

"filewin://SERVERNAME/FolderName/" & $filename
