Just change the assignment for the FileNameAndPath variable from this...

Of course, you will have to fix up the directory path to point to a valid
folder on your system. A couple of things to note. First, do *not* remove
the $ sign from the Date$ and Time$ function calls... they make the function
return the date and time in a specific format that the code depends on.
Second, you can't have slashes (/) or colons (:) in a filename, so I used
dashes in both places (Date$ automatically outputs the date with dashes; I
purposefully replaced the colons with dashes using the Replace function
call... you can change the dash to any other valid filename character if you
wish). Also, you post did not make it clear whether you wanted the date and
time enclosed in parentheses or not; but, since your examples showed them, I
included them.

Hello All,
The macro below provided by Mr. Rick Rothstein works perfect. *It
export the worksheet to a text file. *I wish to change it further to
suit to my needs.
I use excel 2003 (Windows XP)

Sub WriteDataOut()
* Dim X As Long
* Dim FF As Long
* Dim LastRow As Long
* Dim Dte As String
* Dim Record As String
* Dim TotalFile As String
* Dim FileNameAndPath As String
* FileNameAndPath = "c:\Dir1\Dir2\etc\FileName.txt"
* With Worksheets("Sheet1")
* * LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
* * For X = 10 To LastRow
* * * Record = Space$(66)
* * * Mid$(Record, 1) = .Cells(X, "C").Value
* * * Mid$(Record, 10) = Format$(.Cells(X, "F").Value, "0000000000")
* * * Dte = .Cells(X, "H").Value
* * * Mid$(Record, 20) = Right$(Dte, 4) & Mid$(Dte, 4, 2) & Left$(Dte,
2)
* * * Dte = .Cells(X, "H").Value
* * * Mid$(Record, 28) = Right$(Dte, 4) & Mid$(Dte, 4, 2) & Left$(Dte,
2)
* * * Mid$(Record, 36) = Format$(100 * Abs(.Cells(X, "K").Value), _
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "000000000000000")
* * * Mid$(Record, 51) = .Cells(X, "L").Value
* * * Mid$(Record, 56) = .Cells(X, "Q").Value
* * * TotalFile = TotalFile & vbCrLf & Record
* * Next
* * FF = FreeFile
* * Open FileNameAndPath For Output As #FF
* * Print #FF, TotalFile
* * Close #FF
* End With
End Sub

Changes required:
The file should be saved in the given Folder Path using the Cell
Value
(E5) with date and time stamped e.g if cell value (E5) in the excel
file is 1234 then the file should be saved as "1234 (date)
(time)".txt . If the value in E5 is 3456 then it should be saved as
"3456 (date) (time).txt"

At present it saves as filename.txt and it overwirtes the previous
version too. *I need to have all the old files with date and time
stamped for future references using the Cell Value in E5.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rick,
I replaced the FileNameAndPath and when I run the macro it
highlights .Range("E5") and gives the following error:
Invalid or unqualified reference

I wish to have the name to be in the following format:
1234 27072008 11:36 pm.txt

Thanks for your time

Rushna
