Export file name for Excel

Is it possible to have characters such as / (slash) or . (period) in the name
of the file? Currently it's giving me an error everytime I name the Excel
file to export into with either of this. For example I can not name the file
08.19.05data.xls
thanks in advance.
 
Through Windows, you can name a file with . characters. However, I've found
that ACCESS chokes on names with . characters in them when doing importing
and exporting. Use a - or _ instead.

/ is not a valid character in a filename period.
