Try

x = Format(Date - 7, "mm - dd - yy")
y = Format(Date - 1, "mm - dd - yy")

Putting in "" worked for me on asimilar thing

Thanks Tom.

It works, except that the dates are not coming up as mm-dd-yy instead
mm/dd/yy and it won't save the file. What do you suggest?

This is how it reads now:

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim x As Date
Dim y As Date
Dim strFileName As String
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("idrmterm")
x = Format(Date - 7, mm - dd - yy)
y = Format(Date - 1, mm - dd - yy)
Dim strPath As String
strPath = "H:\REPORTS\Every Monday Reports\"
strFileName = x & " " & y & ws.Name & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strPath & strFileName
Set wb = Nothing
Set ws = Nothing
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSendMail).Show
ActiveWorkbook.Close
