Solution 1

Make sure the file name is valid. Use the debugger and see what is the file name which you application tries to use to save the document, correct accordingly.

You already posted 83 question. After all, learn the art of asking questions in a productive way. The code you show is way too long, yet your post does not provide sufficient information. But, in this very case, we don't need this information. It's only you who needs it. You really need to know what's the attempted file name, to fix it. In other words, you need to learn debugging, instead of asking questions like this one, which is not helpful.

the filename is correct...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 3-May-13 15:52pm

No, no true. You did not check up properly. The error "not a valid file name" means it is not valid, period. You did not event bother tell us this name.
Why asking questions at all, if you resist resolving the problem so badly?!
