If filePro couldn't create the file, then you should get a fatal error.

Are you sure the line of code is even being executed?

Put a MESGBOX (and maybe even DEBUG ON) on the line before it, and verify 
it's getting there in the first place.

Change the export to something like:

   export ascii exp=/no/such/path/inventory.txt r=\n f=|

If the message box appears, you should get an error that it couldn't create 
the export file.

If the message box never appears, then you have your answer.  ;-)
