Default Saving file using value in cell as the filename

I've researched this for some time without success (or because I'm not as
well versed in Excel, may have overlooked it...)
I'm trying to set up a trouble ticket spread sheet where there's minimal
technical input required by the user:
in Cell B3 = current date.
in Cell G1 = following formula (used to create a "trouble ticket number" -
="301"&CONCATENATE(MONTH(B3),TEXT(DAY(B3),"00"),TE XT(YEAR(B3),"00"))
in Cell E14 I want to put a Command button which, when activated by the
user, will:
1. Save the file to a certain location on the hard drive (C:\OL Trbl
Tkts) -and-
use the value in Cell G1 (now reading 30107052007)
- which I'd like to cut down to 301070507 <ie. use only the
last 2 digits
of the year
as the file name.

ie. the result upon clicking the command button on July 6, 2007 would result
in the current new worksheet being saved as C:\OL Trbl Tkts\301070607 <in an
ideal situation -or- C:\OL Trbl Tkts\30107062007 as it now stands.
