I got the formatting that I want down which is "yyyymmddHhNnSs", but I haven't be able to figure out which VBA function to use to change Now() from
Code:
7/26/2007 12:45:26 PM
to
Code:
20070726124526
Like I want it.


Further more I would like to Write code do do the following
Code:
Sub ArchiveFile()
If [File Test.zip already exists] Then
[Move Test.zip to Test.20070726124526.zip]
End If
End Sub
Thanks,

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Your title is almost the exact code you need.:)
Code:
Msgbox Format(Now(),"yyyymmddHhNnSs")

Bah, Format! Duh, no wonder it didn't come up in my help search for "Date".

Thanks!

Part 2 anyone?
Code:
Sub ArchiveFile() 
If [File Test.zip already exists] Then 
[Move Test.zip to Test.20070726124526.zip] 
End If 
End Sub

Where 20070726124526 is the date modified of Test.zip?

Thanks,

Well we would probably also need the path for that one.
Code:
If Dir("C:\File Test.Zip")<>"" Then
      Name "C:\File Test.Zip" As "C:\Test." &  Format(Now(),"yyyymmddHhNnSs") & ".Zip"
End If

Throw in a little "FileDateTime" and I have myself some code!

Thanks Jonmo1 and Norie!
