convert date to string of numbers
How would I write a line of code to change the date, such as 02/09/07, to a
string of numbers '020907' I'm trying to write a line that will "save as" an excel file with a specific name concatenated with the date at the end. Note: the date will always change depending on the date the file is saved. Here's a sample of the line of code I am working with ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ ' "C:\Temp\SaveAsTest_" & <INSERT DATE CODE HERE & ".xls", FileFormat _ ' :=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:= _ ' False, CreateBackup:=False ds |

One way:
Format(Date, "mmddyy") In article , "D.S." wrote: How would I write a line of code to change the date, such as 02/09/07, to a string of numbers '020907' I'm trying to write a line that will "save as" an excel file with a specific name concatenated with the date at the end.

convert date to string of numbers
I suggest writing the date backwards, helps sorting
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ ' "C:\Temp\SaveAsTest_" & Format(date,"yy,mmdd") & ".xls", FileFormat _ ' :=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:= _ ' False, CreateBackup:=False -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "D.S." wrote in message ...

convert date to string of numbers
Thanks. While both suggestions will work, < Format(Date,"mmddyy") will work
better for my situation. I'm using a variable for the Date because it's not actually the current date, rather it's always a date in the past. ds "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...
