Need help with "save as" macro
 

I get a .xls file sent to me via email everyday that needs to be saved
to a certain folder with the days date so I have a macro (taken from
this site) that does everything I want BUT I need the filename to be
the date I save it 070705.xls

Sorry I am a complete noob at macros as I am just learning Excel so if
anyone can tell me the line I need to replace and what it should be I
would appreciate it.


edit: also I do not want the xls file to close.



Thanks

Mega,

If you only want the filename to be today's date then
sFilename = Date

If you want some text in there
sFilename = "Your text" & Date

Also
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True
saves the workbook a second time. Do you need to do this?
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False is probably what you need.

Mega,

That should read
sFilename = Date & ".xls"

&

sFilename = "Your text" & 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

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"

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.
