I am using a macro to place a timestamp on workbook open and it saves it at
this time but if i rename the work book, then try to run the macro i receive
a file not found.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Sheet4").Range("I1").Value = Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy
hh:mm:ss")
End Sub
Sub DateTime()

Worksheets("Sheet4").Range("I1").Value = _
Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End Sub
The above code is what i am using and it works but the renaming of the file
could be an issue.Is there a work around on this?

There's nothing in the code to indicate the filename at all.
Or do you mean renaming the worksheet ?

P.S. Is this a .CSV file or a true Excel .xls file ?

This is an excel file and i have code to work on workbook open and also for
the time and that is placed in a module of the workbook. I created a custom
button to activate the macro to current time then save and it works fine.The
problem is if i want to rename the workbook then try to run the macro, it
does not recognize the file.

So, it has nothing to do with the code you posted, but to with the location
from which you are calling this code ?
Where is the calling button/code located ?

If in Personal.xls, why not change the routine to insert the formatted
date/time in the current cell. Then it will work for any WB/WS you have open
and the filename will not matter :
Sub InsertDateTime()
ActiveCell.Value = Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End Sub

You should add error handling in case the above is invalid.

Or depending how you are creating the button, you can specify the workbook
with ThisWorkbook.Name .

I am as confused as Nick on this, the code you mention above simply
changes a timedate stamp on Sheet 4.

You are try to save this workbook as another name, and then when you
open the copied workbook the macro won't run?
