Easy questions about Auto Save
 

I have macros that record where the file is being saved to. How would I add
todays date in the file name. I've tried using =today() and that didn't work
for me. Is this even possible? Thanks so much

Try

Dim FName As String
FName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Test_" & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
& ".xls"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FName

HI Chip,

Can you take a look at this and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I'm
getting a Run time error 438, Object doesn't support this property or method.



ChDir "S:\Assets\All_Records_Access_Table"
Dim FName As String
FName = ActiveWorkbook =
"S:\Assets\Joyce\All_Records_Access_Table\All Records" & Format(Now,
"dd-mmm-yyyy") & ".xls"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs FName

The problem is with the ActiveWorkbook object when you assign a
value to FName. It shouldn't be there.

FName = "S:\Assets\Joyce\All_Records_Access_Table\All Records" &
_
Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yyyy") & ".xls"
