Default This might be a toughy

Why not just put a macro in the before_save event of the ThisWorkbook module
so that it is done when they save. You can even create it so that if they
still continue to try to save another way, their desires are over ridden.

...
My customer invoices are being made out by various people using excel.
When saving the invoices I've asked them to add the current date to the
filename when saving it,
such as AAA607 PLUS CURRENT DATE.
Problem is they enter the dates in different formats.
e.g. aaa6071107, aaa607010107, aaa6071/1/07, aaa60701/01/07.
Is it possible to get excel to add the current date to the filename
automatically for consistancy and so they can be later retrieved and not
overwritten.
