    correct statement to return time

    I have the following code

    which contains the workbook name, and date, the code opens a new workbook and saves it under this name. I would like to add the time to this so that if i later run the program again it will have a different filename (different time)
    Can anyone help with the correct statement to return the time?

    Thanks Arthur your right there was a " missing. this code now works but I think I must be missing something it currently returns the day/date as 12-30-1899_0000.xls so presumably I have to pick up the system date and time from somewhere?
