I've been pretty busy the last two days, so sorry for the delay in posting (we had a user meeting up here and yesterday Brian James and I were going back and forth on a number of things). Anyway, that code should have more or less been what David sent to me a while ago. I'm not sure exactly where you got it, but would imagine that it should have been working from where ever it was copy/pasted from (me for the original definition or another definition that was posted somewhere). Anyway, the issue (which it seams most of you guys have found out) is that the file name itself is getting a little messed up because of the double quotes (the Chr(34) thing) that are being put in.
The double quotes at the begining and end (the ones in the SaveRenderWindowAs macro) are fine and necessary for any file with spaces. The double quotes in the filename are NOT okay, and it looks extremely odd to me that they are their. First off, double quotes are invalid character names, so windows will not allow that file to be saved at all. Secondly, provided there was a space in the filename (which in this case there isn't, but..) the double quote in the middle will cause Rhino to think that the path is done being specified and it will try to save it even though it may not have the full file name with the extension. So take the Chr(34) statements in the filename out and everything should be fine. Again, sorry for the delay, and I think everyone got to the heart of it without me.
