import Tkinter, tkFileDialog, ntpath root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.withdraw() filetypes = [('Excel Workbook', '.xlsx'),('All Files','.*')] filenamesaveas = tkFileDialog.asksaveasfilename(filetypes=filetypes, title='Results Workbook Name')

xlsfilename = ntpath.basename(filenamesaveas)

The 'root = Tkinter.Tk()' etc is to stop a dummy Tkinter window coming up that crashes PSS/E if it's closed.
