Default Setting a cell to Text and yesterday's Date?


I'm trying to do a save with a variable filename. I read this might be
easier if I set a certain cell to equal the filename that I am looking
for and then Dim that as a variable in the code and call on the cell
for the name.

How do I set a cell to equal something like
NS Tues Aug 1st

This is what I'm putting in right now that does not work
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "NS " & "=TODAY()-1"

I know I am missing a character in there or something, the cell
displays as
NS =TODAY()-1

I wanted the filename to be something like that, the formatting can
change if its easier a different way, but I need "NS" the day of the
week, then the month and date. The cell also has to have a "Date-1" or
something like that in there since I need it to equal the date from the
day before.

I want to save this file variably and was going to do something like
this

Dim filename as string

filename = Range("A1")
ChDir "D:\My Documents\Temp\"


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:= _
"D:\My Documents\Temp\" & filename, FileFormat:= _
xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _



Thanks,

~J
