Export Data - output name is not valid

Question

No matter what I try to do with the file name.  Even taking it down to putting the output file in a C:/temp folder, I continue to get the same error when trying to export data "output name is not valid."

Help.

I got the same problem. Then I followed @JesseMaruschak's advice, now it is ok.

I was having the same problem. Thanks a lot, I have successfully exported and saved the data.

Never mind.  I pulled a complete brain fart, and didn't realize that when the window to select the folder and file name was up, there was a drop down box at the bottom where you could select a "Save as type" of either "Sapefile" or "File and Personal Geodatabase feature classes".

When I changed the "Save as type" to "Shapefile" it was amazing......it actually created the shapefile for me.  DOH!

Thank you for your time.
