Hey Dave,

Thanks for the warning. It is appreciated.

Any chance you could help with the conversion problem. (eg. the
result of this formula looks like a date. But when put into a date
cell, the other cells that are linked to it are giving me the #VALUE!
error or "This is not a date!")

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Just a warning...

Change each of the:
CELL("filename")
to
CELL("filename",A1)

Else you'll get the filename of the activeworkbook when excel calculated.

Greetings,

I have a lot of workbooks with a date as a name (eg. 2004-08.xls or
1999-03.xls). I would like to capture the date portion of this name
with a formula in sheet 'Date' cell 'A4'.

Anyone have any ideas?

Your help is appreciated.

TIA
