Save date in filename
Hi. I would like to have the current date saved in the
filename when the macro is excercised. For instance, the filename is "Log File.xls". I would like a command that, if executed on February 23, it would save the filename "Log File - 2/23/04.xls. My current command is: ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Archive\" & "Log File" What should I add to this command to include the date? Thanks, Mike. |

Save date in filename
Rob:
Thanks for your reply. When I try this, I get a run time error. It says it cannot access the file .... \Archive\Log File-2\23. It appears as if it is treating the slashes in the date as directory paths ... Any ideas? Thanks, Mike. -----Original Message----- "Log file-" & Date -- Regards; Rob --------------------------------------------------------- --------------- "Mike" wrote in message ... Hi.

Save date in filename
Oops, it's past my bedtime!
Paul is correct, and my only excuse is that my date separator is set up as a dash, so out of habit I ignored the slash in your example.

Save date in filename
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path
& "\Archive\" & "Log File " & format(date,"mmddyy") & ".xls" Or one of the combinations below to start. format(date,"mmm dd yyyy") format(date,"mm dd yy") format(date,"mm dd yyyy") When I append dates, I don't fool around with backslashes or slashes.
