I have data files with the names based on dates ordered such that they
naturally appear in order: Acct 2007-07-23.txt, etc. In my spreadsheet, i search for complete data and when I find that I am missing data for a specific date, I would like to enter that date, and have a procedure work out the filename and load the specfic file. The yyyy-mm-dd format used to ensure that the files fall in the order of generation is a little unusual and users don't always catch this and enter the date incorrectly. I would simply like to ask for the date needed, and generate the file name behind the user interface. I know this doesn't work: Date needed : 7/23/2007 DN=7/23/2007 Filename = "Acct" & year(DN) & "-" & Month(DN) & "_" & Day(DN) & ".txt" Any suggestions would be appreciated. Craig |
