Changing a sheet name to the current date
 

Hi. I am trying to rename a new sheet to the current date, using the
"15-Mar-06" format, but I keep getting an error whenever I hit this line of
code:

ActiveSheet.Name = ActiveSheet.Range("H3").Value

....where H3.value is the current date. I think its seeing the "/"s in the
date and not wanting to accept the value, even though I have a line above
where I change the format of the date in that H3 cell. Name = Date doesn't
work either, I think for the same reason.

Any ideas?

thanks oodles!

Try this:

ActiveSheet.Name = Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H3").Value,"dd-mmm-yy")
