Export to Excel - Save to File

How can the below script be modified?  I want it to automatically name the excel file to SoExport.xls and save it to the f:\cabinets directory overwriting any previous copies.

'Export so to Excel:

'Export to Excel|expexcel:

'Export to Excel v2:

Export-Script
==========================================================================
This Script has been created by D. Hasa, Yel GmbH, Switzerland  in April 2001

It may be distributed and modified freely, as long as this header is kept intact.

Please report any bugs, fixes or enhancements to info@yel.ch

This script exports a UIView 'As-Is' from Notes 5 to Excel 2000
It has been tested with Notes 5.03/5.05/5.08 into Excel97 & 2000

--> every column (include headers) is a column in Excel
     and every value displayed of a document is a row in Excel
Every Value will be inserted as Text into Excel
==========================================================================
Updates:
==========================================================================
30.11.01
==========================================================================
SELECTED DOCUMENTS
You can now export also only selected documents, but the script gets thru all documents in a view, because the the property doc.ColumnValues(n) only returns a value if it has been fetched from a view (selected documents get fetched by a NotesDocumentCollection).
----
Excel-Object Problems
Added another ExcelApp-Constant (Excel.Application.8)
----
Visualised Progress
This script is From http://www.notes.net/50beta.nsf/7d6a87824e2f09768525655b0050f2f2/1B5AFDF4B4ACC732852566BB005CDC45?OpenDocument
Thanks to Les Szklanny
--> I cannot give you any  guaranty of proper functionality you can turn it on or of --> const visualproc
==========================================================================
Implementation
==========================================================================
It is only a script without any Dialog-Boxes by exception --> Distribution and Implementation is very easy

Simply copy this whole file into an Agent:
Name:    Export to Excel
Run:     Manually from Actions Menu
act on:       Selected documents in View
Run:     Lotus Script

--> Export works in any View/Folder of that database
