Default Save As "something" then date


Hi,

I'm looking for a way automatically save an excel sheet with a date i
the filename for easy identification. id like it to follow the forma
below

dd-mm-yy Stats.xls

the code i have is:

Sub SaveDate()



ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew\Desktop\" & Format(Date, dd
mm - yy) & "Stats"

End Sub

The problem i have is that it saves as the number which excel generate
for dates so if it was the 1/1/1900 it would save as 00001 stats.xls

obviously i cant have the date as 1/1/1900 stats.xls as windows wouldn
accept it

any ideas?

thanks in advanc
