Can I save Excel files of the same name in the same folder?

I am exporting data from a software package into Excel. One Excel file is
created each time and stored in a particular folder. My problem is that the
software package won't let me save the files as a different name so the Excel
file is just being over-written each time. I want to keep all the exported
files without having to change the name of the previous Excel file each
time...

Can the function disallowing the same name being used be turned off?

Can my folder be set up to change the file name (i.e. file, file(1),
file(2), .. , etc..)
 
Thanks for insight Dave, but is there any way around it? Can a folder be set
up so that if a second file of the same name is sent to it then it
automatically alters the name....

i.e from filename to filename(1)
