Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
This is probably because of the / in the date.

You need to format the date to remove them.
Code:
Public Sub Save() 
ThisFile = Format(Range("G4").Value , "ddmmmyyyy")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFile 
End Sub

Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Format(Date , "ddmmmyyyy")
