using the now() function with saveas in a macro

[Randy Welker]

Is these some way I can incorporate the now() function with the saveas function in a macro so that the file name is appended or replaced with the current date?
any help would be appreciated.

Try this Randy

Dim strdate As String
strdate = Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\" & strdate & ".xls"

Randy,

Try something like

Activeworkbook.Saveas Filename:="C:\MyFiles\TestFile" & Format(Date,"dd
mmm yyyy") & ".xls"

if you want just the date, or

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\MyFiles\TestFile" & Format(Time, "dd
mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss") & ".xls"

if you want the time as well
