    Here's an example :

    Sub SaveIt()Dim dt As String, wbNam As String
    
    wbNam = "Apple_"
    dt = Format(CStr(Now), "yyy_mm_dd_hh_mm")
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= wbNam & dt End Sub

    Thanks,
    Do you want it as part of the file name or on a Log Sheet in the workbook? I've done it both ways

    Remember: Tell us WHAT you want to do, not HOW you think you want to do it

    1. Use [CODE] ....[/CODE ] Tags for readability
    [CODE]PasteYourCodeHere[/CODE ] -- (or paste your code, select it, click [#] button)
    2. Upload an example
    Go Advanced / Attachments - Manage Attachments / Add Files / Select Files / Select the file(s) / Upload Files / Done
    3. Mark the thread as [Solved] when you have an answer
    Thread Tools (on the top right corner, above the first message)
    4. Read the Forum FAQ, especially the part about cross-posting in other forums

    Why would you ?
    Excel does it automatically.
