Save Word file as todays date

[tgmoon]

I've been looking all over but can't find anything, but is there an easy bit of code to save a word file named as todays date?

Many thanks

Thom

ActiveDocument.SaveAs "C:\SomeFolder\" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".doc"

strDocName = format(date,"d-mmm-yy") & ".doc"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDocName

Hi,

ThisDocument.saveas format(date,"yyyymmdd") & ".doc"

Man, you three almost crowded out the server. I don't think I have ever see three with the same time stamp before. Interesting that you all assumed (as would I, 'tis true) that it was the active document being saved as.

Documents("The quick.doc").SaveAs _
   Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".doc"

This would save the open (but NOT active) document "The quick.doc" with the date.

Or, if you are using a document object, it also does not have to be the active document.

ThatDoc.SaveAs _
   Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".doc"

Note that the SavedAs file would automatically save the file to the folder path determined by the document object. You could of course, as JerryKlmns does, specify a folder.
