Save as pdf variable name

I'm trying to set up a script to save a record as pdf with a specified name. The database is hosted on a server, and I cannot seem to get the file path correct for the client. here is my script:

Set Variable ["filemac:Desktop/"&"PO" & Purchase Orders::Number &".pdf"]

Save Records as PDF ["$filename"]

My goal is to have the pdf saved to the desktop folder of the user's home directory. When I run,as is, I get an error that the file cannot be created on this disk. I think it's trying to save to the server or my file path is wrong and doesn't exist?

Thanks.

Try:

Set Variable $docPath =

"filemac:" & Get (DesktopPath) & "PO" & Purchase Orders::Number & ".pdf"

Save Records as PDF [$docPath]

That worked. Thanks!
