save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Mike,

Using your code in the button shows in the message box
TestSaveStack

Which is the name of the file.

Searching my entire hard drive doesn’t show 
any file named “TestSaveStack”.

There is no error reported for "the result”.

Rick
