ChDir "C:\Users\frank\Desktop\OCIP"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\frank\Desktop\OCIP\LCP.xlsx", _


The file I am saving is called LCP. I would like it to be saved different every time with today's date on it every time I save it. Something like this

LCP - 08-23-2019

Also if it picks up that I am saving it again it can override it without asking me to replace it.

Any help thank you

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Try:
Code:
Dim fname as String
fname=[COLOR=#333333]"C:\Users\frank\Desktop\OCIP\LCP - " & Format(Date,"mm-dd-yyyy") & ".xlsx"
[/COLOR]ChDir "C:\Users\frank\Desktop\OCIP"
Application.DisplayAlerts=False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname, _
    ...
Application.DisplayAlerts=True

In your original posting, you cut off your code aftet that comma. That indicates that line of code is continued. But since you cut it off, I do not know what it was, which is what I had placed the "..." in there. Just place whatever was in your original code next in that spot. And after that line, place the last line of code I posted.

o yeah sorry I don't know why I cut that off. It was the file format
Code:
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

Thanks
