Help with getsaveasfilename
 

Hi
I have the following code and MyStr = todays date which I have dimmed
previously

If (fso.FolderExists("D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents"))
Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\Forms.xls"
Dim fileSaveName
fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(["D:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Documents\"] & MyStr, _
fileFilter:="All Files (*.xls), *.xls")
If fileSaveName < False Then
MsgBox "Save the incident forms for this incident as " & fileSaveName
End If
ActiveSheet.SaveAs fileSaveName

However I need the user to enter the filename and then have it also attach
to the filename they have chosen what is in MyStr and I am unsure how to do
this now.

For Example the file will currently save as
D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\040607\name user calls file
when prompted

and I want it to save as
D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\040607\040607+name user calls
file.

Can anyone help please
