Default filename in macro

What am I doing wrong?
my macro reads:
ChDir "S:\Underwriting\Secondary\Wholesale\WS Rate Sheets"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename = Worksheets("Rate Sheet Backup").Range("A31")

Cell A31 reads:
="AFC Wholesale Rate Sheet
"&MONTH(TODAY())&"-"&DAY(TODAY())&"-"&YEAR(TODAY())

and Im getting a file name of false? when the macro runs.
Thanks again,
Yosef

Let's put qwerty.xls in cell A1. Then:

Sub Macro1()
ChDir "C:\"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\" & Cells(1, 1).Value
End Sub

will do a save_as to your top-level directory.

whats the syntax to save a file in a macro but use the file from

within a cell
i.e. if cell A1 is the name I want to save the file as - how do I

reference
that cell from within the macro?
