After I export a db file to a text file, I tried to rename it as a
unique file. Since this process is going to happen every month, I would
like to place the renaming process in a script. The script works until I
try to rename it. The following is in the script.

prod_file="

ffice

Stick Out Tongue

rod" +month(today())+".xls")
if not rename("office:tmp_file.xls",prod_file) then
errorshow()
endif

The error message states :
error in rename procedure, unknown table type

What am I doing wrong.
