I misread your post, sorry about. I assumed you were using code.

How are you exporting the report? If you are going to File-->Export, then
you can simply edit the file name.

If you're exporting through the query, do not except the overwrite when
prompted and rename the file. If you are exporting using a macro, you will
need to either rewrite this function in VBA or use one of the previously
mentioned methods.
