Re: Need Help - Current Date in the File Name when export

You need to change the variable, as that is where your path is.

Something like this perhaps:

"filewin:" & Get(DesktopPath) & "TelePresence/Holds/TechHolds_" &
      Let( dt = Get(CurrentDate);
         Year(dt) &
         Right("00" & Month(dt); 2) &
         Right("00" & Day(dt); 2)
      ) & ".pdf"

That will save a file today called "TechHolds_20140306.pdf" to
your desktop/TelePresence/Holds/ folder.
