Default get the current filename as a variable

The myFileName line does not compile. What I want to do here is save the
current filename with the date appended. I am trying to put the current
filename into the Sub
tnx,
saveIndesign()
'Appends date to filename so as to not write over an existing file

Const fPath As String = "Mac OS X:Users:jrough:Documents"
Dim fName As String
Dim myFileName As String
myFileName = ActiveWorkbook.Filename
fName = fPath & myFileName & Time()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
End Sub
