Naming a new Excel workbook in a macro
Hi
I work in a hospital and am trying to automate the production of waiting lists from an Access table, imported into a separate Excel workbook for each month. I'm stuck on how to name each workbook sequentially within the macro. The convention will be: 0701Wl.xls for Jan 2007 0702Wl.xls for Feb 2007 etc Can anyone advise me how to do this please? Many thanks GLS |
