strDate = Format(w1.Range(“B2”), “dd.mm.yy”)
v1.SaveAs strPath & strDate & “.xls”
But I’d recommend using a different date format. Although points are allowed in file names, they can be confusing since the point is also used to separate the file name and extension. I’d use a format such as yyyymmdd – this makes it easy to sort the files.
Insert a line
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
above the line with SaveAs, and
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
below it. See DisplayAlerts Property.
