Default Doing a save with a variable filename?


I'm trying to do a save with a variable filename. I read this might be
easier if I set a certain cell to equal the filename that I am looking
for and then Dim that as a variable in the code and call on the cell
for the name.

How do I set a cell to equal something like
NS Tues Aug 1st

I wanted the filename to be something like that, the formatting can
change if its easier a different way, but I need "NS" the day of the
week, then the month and date. The cell also has to have a "Date-1" in
there since I need it to equal the date from the day before.

I want to save this file variably and was going to do something like
this

Dim filename as string

filename = Range("A1")
ChDir "D:\My Documents\Temp\"


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:= _
"D:\My Documents\Temp\" & filename, FileFormat:= _
xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _



Thanks,

~J
