Default showing current date as part of file name

I have a workbook created in Excel 2002. Its name always includes the
current date, for example: "040409 Securities.xls". (I have always formatted
the date as YYMMDD, but would change that format if it assisted my doing
what I mention below.) The file is updated Monday through Friday afternoons
each week.

I have recently automated almost every step of the updating. Now, when I
open the most recent file, all updating is done automatically up to and
including the opening of the Save As dialog box. However, that box always
includes, in the default file name for saving, a date earlier than the
current date. I then have to change that date manually to today's date
before saving the file.

I found in an old MS KB article (139723) a method of prompting in the Save
As dialog box to save a file with a particular name:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show ("xxx.xls"). That also worked for
Excel 2002, I found.

However, is there a way in which I can have that box prompt me to save the
file with the date part of the file name already being whatever is the
current date?
