Default Adding date to filename?

Hello

Please could I beg a little advice from the experts here

I'm using the following code to export data without quotation marks to text
files.

Sub Export()
Dim r As Range, c As Range
Dim sTemp As String
Open "MyOutput.txt" For Output As #1
For Each r In Selection.Rows
sTemp = ""
For Each c In r.Cells
sTemp = sTemp & c.Text & Chr(9)
Next c

'Get rid of trailing tabs
While Right(sTemp, 1) = Chr(9)
sTemp = Left(sTemp, Len(sTemp) - 1)
Wend
Print #1, sTemp
Next r
Close #1
End Sub

It works fine so long as the required cells are selected, but does anyone
know how to amend the VBA to add the time and date to the filename? I'd be
soooo grateful.

I tried

Open "MyOutput" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".txt" For Output As #1

but that just crashed it. Any ideas?
Many thanks
tp
