Default Inputbox to enter date

"I:\EXLDATA\Central Analytics Project\Gross Batchtracks by Business
Line\Product Summary\Internal GBT Prod_Sum myValue.xls"


should be

"I:\EXLDATA\Central Analytics Project\Gross Batchtracks by Business
Line\Product Summary\Internal GBT Prod_Sum " & myValue & ".xls"

I have the following macro set-up to open 3 files in 3 separate folders.

I would like for the end user to enter the month they want to review so I'm
trying to add an input box that will fill in the date in the 3 file names.
When I run the macro, I get a "Syntax Error" message and I'm not sure how to
fix it.

myValue = InputBox("Enter a date")
Range("A1").Value = Format(myValue, ("yyyy_mm"))
