Perhaps, you can share screen captures showing precisely what is happening; this usually helps people assist. Make sure to include a screen capture of your Export window.

Screen shot of the error attached.

[GeorgeDSV]

Export window below ... nothing of signifigance used.

In your image attached the setting “Limit file size to” 2 000. Was it the intention to be 2000, why is there a space?

[GeorgeDSV]

Hello, Lightroom does this, there was no space used. I also tried using this with no limit.

[GeorgeDSV]

Further info .... I opened the photo in PS and did an export .. no issue.

Make sure you've granted LR full disk access:

Mac OS 12.3.1 has changed something in its security that is tripping up LR.

[GeorgeDSV]

Thank you for the suggestion. All access was granted. I removed access and granted again, tested. Same error.

Hello, I did a reset of Preferences .... The EXPORT is now working.

Solved, thank you to all the recommendations and suggestions.

How did you do a "reset of preferences"?

[johnrellis]

See this article for how to reset LR's preferences:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.
