Default Need help with "save as" macro

I would suggest you save files that have dates in their filename
that you use for format to name the file so that you have
year first, followed by month then day of month so that
they will sort nicely as filenames regardless of your last update date.

MegaDeth,

Sorry,
I forgot that the slashes can't be used in a filename.

2 ways around that.

1) Control PanelRegional and Language OptionsRegional
OptionsCustomizeDateDate Separator = .
This will change your date format to 7.11.2005 (throughout windows)

2)sFilename = Month(Date) & "." & Day(Date) & "." & Year(Date) &
".xls"

OK I have a minor problem with the saving as the date.

Using sFilename = Date & ".xls"


It tried to save it in this format 7\11\2005.xls. This would be

fine
but it won't save this way as it thinks it is a folder with the \

Do I have any other options or is it a setting in Excel that has to

do
with the way the date is saved?



thanks
