Date Format

Hi - I am trying to output a date as part of my filename however keep getting an error because it isn't formatted properly. (It doesn't like the "/" in the date part). I've tried a few ways of formatting the date but I can't seem to get the correct one! Ideally I'd like the date in either dd-mm-yy or ddmmyy format. Any ideas?

Code:

Dim FDate As Date
FDate = Format(Date, "ddmmyy")

FileName = "G:\test " & FDate

Run a replace function on your date changing '/' to '-'. That should give you the format dd-mm-yy.

Thanks that worked (after I changed my variable to string and not date).
