Default Automatically Generate a unique file name...

I have an excel (XP version) application in use on a
network. The app is being run by 50+ different users,
and currently they output the final result sheet to a
printer on completion.

I would like to save some trees and instead of printing
the output, I would like to save it to a folder on the
network. The problem is, each user prints between 5 &
10 of these sheets per shift.

Not all of the users are computer savvy, so in order to
avoid everyone saving their files over everyone elses, I
would need to write a macro that would save the file
automatically to a specific folder. At the same time it
would also need to generate a unique file name for each
individual user!

Does anyone know if this is possible, and can you give me
any pointers please?

Thanks in advance.

Ian
