Default Date in the workbook name


How are you using it? it should be used like this in VBA
Code:
--------------------
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs (ThisWorkbook.Name & " - " & Format(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value, "dd-mm-yy") & ".xls")
--------------------

Hi
I am trying to input the date into the title of the my workbook. I
know that you can not have a / in the title of a workbook but you

can
have a - so I could put the date in as 8-2-2009 for instance. So I

am
wondering is anyone knows how to get a date value from a cell that
would look like 8/2/2009 and then take that date and put it in as

the
title of a workbook, but have it formatted such that it would look
like 8-2-2009.


Also is there a way to just add a day to a date, so that I could

name
the next workbook 8-3-2009.


Thanks


In general you can format the date in a cell like this
* *Format(Range("A1"), "m-d-yyyy")

or this
* *Format(Range("A1") + 1, "m-d-yyyy")


Everytime that I try to use this expression it gives me the error
"Expected ="

Thanks
