I have a macro that runs an application, and creates new files with the
results. I want to have the date (and if possible time) of the run in
my file name. But I am not able to do this with the Date function as I
guess the results it throws is not in the text format. How can I do
this in VB? Right now, to do this, I am typing the date in "" in one of
the cellls, but I am sure there would be better ways. Suggestions
please.

Thanks,
Kapil

Use in VBA

myVar = Format(Now(), "dd mmm yy")
