Hi,


Dim input_file as string

Dim output_dir as string

Dim output_file as string


input_file = "d:\data\data.lst"

output_dir = "s:\data\"

output_file = "981029_2156.lst"


filecopy inputfile, output_dir & output_file


that's all

re,

you can use the date() function, here's an example


Dim mystr As String

mystr = "Toto"

mystr = Date() & "_" & mystr


on my system the result should be : (it depends of your date format - see regional settings in your Control Panel)


mystr => "30/10/98_Toto"
