    saving file name based on value in predetermined cell

    how do i save a file based on a predetermined value in a cell.

    ex. the value in cell B11 contains a date. i want that date to be the file
    name that it gets saved as.

    regards,

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Format([b11], "yyyy_mm_dd")

    You have to be careful not to use \ in a filename, so you cannot use the
    cell Text property. Format the date yourself, in reverse order for sorting

    Activeworkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Format(Range("B11").Value,"yyyymmdd")

    JB/BOB:
    thanx for the reply, but when i right click on the tab, view code, i cut and
    paste the line code into the file and i get an error. the only change i had
    to make was to match the cell properly H3:J3 (merged cells) and the date
    format is dd mmm yyyy (already formated in cell) but i changed the date
    format in the code to both suggestions.

    i only have a few selections in the workbook for where i can enter the code.
    i'm entering the line in the BeforeSave because i do not see SaveAs Filename
    anywhere for options.

    any other suggestions?

    regards

    Not sure about the merged cell, but you seem to be adding the code to the
    worksheet code module. Why there? I would have expected it as a macro, or
    maybe embedded in BeforeSave event and test for SaveAs.

    Hello.

    I need a macro that copies a range to a new workbook and saves the new workbook with a predefined name.
    The predefined name should be like "name current date.xls".
    I know how to create the first steps but I don't know how to use the predefined name.

    I saw this question and it might be a good place to ask this question or am I wrong?

    Please help.

    /Anders
