I'm trying to get date into the folder name as shown below but i'm giving me an error. Does anybody know how to format this properly

"C:\Users\Tyler\ Capital\Administration - Documents\2. Finance\Expenses\1. General\Advisors Reimbursement Invoices\& Format(Now, "yyyy-mm")& \" & Format(Date, "(mm-yy)") & ".PDF" _
, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Missing some double-quotes:
VBA Code:

Solution
You are welcome.

They key to remember is that all literal text goes between double-quotes, and all variables and calculatuions do NOT go in between double-quotes, and you join all the inidividual pieces with an ampersand (&).
