Have you used - SETCURRENTDIR("Media") at the start of your code? Maybe that's affecting the final destination?

Maybe you need two "/" characters in your string?:

Code (glbasic) Select

LOCAL path$="D://frame"+frameCounter+".bmp"

[Edit] Maybe not, I checked my code and I didn't have duplicate "/" anywhere I could find.

You could try to see if it's the 'frameCounter' variable causing the problem with:

Code (glbasic) Select

LOCAL path$="D:/frame001.bmp"

Or, try "\\" instead of "/" in the path?

DJ - it's saving to "D:\frame123.bmp" - is that what you want? Or "D:\fame\123.bmp"?

The "/" (forward slash) is the right (and only valid) directory separator in GLBasic.
I hope it's not SAVEBMP that's faulty.

Some pathing results from PLATFORMINFO$ use "\" on Windows instead of "/"
