DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Exch_Compare", acFormatXLSX, "M:\Exceptions Research\OutPut\(NEED TODAYS DATE HERE)Exchange.xlsx", False

Hi-

I need to add todays date to the output file name. It needs to change every day (Today "3-8-2011Exchange.xlsx) then (tomorrow 3-9-2011Exchange.xlsx)

Its prob a simple code, but the Access Help is not giving me the right answer.

Thanks

To concatenate "Hello" to "World" you do "Hello" & "World".

The function for today's date is Date(). To format the date so that it uses hyphen as the delimeter you need the Format() function.

See what you can come up with.
