Is it possible to have file name filled up automatically when you want to have report exported to certain directory instead of generic name qwkjfjkw133123.rpt or something like that. I hope I explained myself correctly so I want to have file name filled up right there when I schedule output destination for some report - the same way when you click on Save As in Ms Word and file name is already there you just chose folder where you saving file. The same problem exists with Crystal Reports. Every time you have to give name of the file instead of it should be filled up automatically.
 
Set up a recurring instance of the object which schedules to the destination. Using this approach, you will only have to specify your export filename and destination, and export format once.

However, if you specify your filename when setting up a recurring instance, each consecutive instance will overwrite the previous file.
