Data Driven Pages - Need to prepend field to file name when exporting individual pngs

[EricMcGilliard]

Using ArcMap 10.0 and data driven pages,  I would like to export a series of individual .png's with unique file names based off of a field in the attribute table.  I am able to use ESRI's sample arcpy script to export to individual png's, but am not able to prepend or append a name to the png's.  I can only export each png with a page number. 

Anyone have some advice to attach a name to each of the exported .png's?

Try something like this in your arcpy: arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG(mxd,r"C:\Temp\\" + str(ddp.pageRow.Name) + ".png", df)
