1. You only provide the STRING "School report" to the SAVE command!
Probably you mean "save STACK "School report..."?

2. You only provided the target FOLDER and no filename!
Hint: specialfolderpath(35) will give you that folder on all win versions!
...
save STACK "School report" as (specialfolderpath(35) & "/" & "School report.rev"
## Richards debug code here...
...

Hope that helps.
