Question : MS Access: Can a variable date be used in a title within a macro that exports a file?

I have a macro that exports data to a set location on the network with a fixed title.  Works fine.  I need to run this daily, and want to be able to keep the previous day's report.  Is there a way to add today's date into the title of the export file?  Example: Existing report title:  SpecialReport.xls   Can I automatically create this title:  SpecialReport080211.xls.   080208 is today's date 2/11/08

Not from within a Macro (least i don't think there is - I haven't used macros in years) but you can with DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet. This method allows you to declare the location/title of the exported file. For example:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "YourQueryName", "C:\DataExport\SpecialReport" & Month(Date) & Day(Date) & Year(Date) & ".xls"

Would produce a file in the C:\DataExport folder named SpecialReport02112008.xls
