Hi, I dlike to write a macro to automatically "save as" a file with th
current date in the filename as well as the original filname i.e. MR
11-27-03.xls Current file name is MRP.xls. Any ideas?

The macro below is for reference, it just saves the file as MRP.xls.
just need someway to inckude the date.

Thanks
Steve


ChDir "P:\MRP"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="P:\MRP\mrp.xls"
FileFormat:=xlNormal, _
Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False
_
CreateBackup:=Fals

Try this Mega

Dim strdate As String
strdate = Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="P:\MRP\mrp " & strdate & ".xls"
