Block saving using dates
 

I'm trying to make a macro that will save a workbook to 7 files, example, it
saves as 17 oct 04
18 oct 04
19 oct 04
and so on, so with one click i can create the next 7 days workbooks.
if someone can help it would be great.
Thankyou

See Code below

Sharad

Sub MultiSave()

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
mypath = "c:\My Documents\"

If Not fs.FolderExists(mypath) Then
MsgBox "Folder " & mypath & " does not exist. Please create the folder
first."
'OR you can add code to create the folder.
Exit Sub
End If

dt = DatePart("d", Date)
mnth = DatePart("m", Date)
yr = DatePart("yyyy", Date)

Select Case mnth
Case 1
mnth = "Jan"
Case 2
mnth = "Feb"
Case 3
mnth = "Mar"
Case 4
mnth = "Apr"
Case 5
mnth = "May"
Case 6
mnth = "Jun"
Case 7
mnth = "Jul"
Case 8
mnth = "Aug"
Case 9
mnth = "Sep"
Case 10
mnth = "Oct"
Case 11
mnth = "Nov"
Case 12
mnth = "Dec"
End Select

allok = "yes"
For i = 0 To 6
spath = mypath & dt + i & " " & mnth & " " & yr & ".xls"
If fs.FileExists(spath) Then
MsgBox "File name " & spath & " already exists. Hence will not be
saved."
allok = "no"
GoTo 10
End If
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs spath
10 Next i
If allok = "yes" Then
MsgBox "All files saved successfully"
Else
MsgBox "Some (or all) files could not be saved."
End If

End Sub

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim iCtr As Long
Dim FirstDate As Date

FirstDate = DateSerial(2004, 10, 16)
'or for today's date
FirstDate = Date

For iCtr = FirstDate To FirstDate + 6 '7 times
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" _
& Format(iCtr, "dd mmm yy") & ".xls"
Next iCtr

End Sub

It uses the active workbook's path for the folder name.

And I like a format of:
& Format(iCtr, "yyyy_mm_dd") & ".xls"

Easier to sort on in windows explorer.
