After the responses, did you see where you goofed, Lee?
In the Set Variable you defined the name as "$data" and in the
Export Records you called for "$data.xls." They are not the same,
so FMP used the new name you told it to use, not the variable
you previously defined.

I have set a variable script that refuses to work if anyone has an
idea where the scripting is wrong then I'd appreciate any input.
Set Variable ($data; (Value:Get(FileName)&"_"&main::name)
Exports Records (No dialog;"$data.xls", Unicode(UTF-16)
'main::name' field is just a text field with a name in it.
The exported file just reads $data.xls rather than for example
"Main_John" which is what the 'name' (text) field reads on the
screen .
any help appreciated. I have done other variable scripts when saving
files but this one just seems to be wrong somewhere.
