    Cool Force file name format

    I want to be able to force the format of the naming of a file when someone does a "Save As"

    i.e. the person must enter ####-mmdd (1137-0710) and if the format doesn't meet the convention format then a error message comes up until the name it right.

    Does anyone know if there is a VBA that does this

    Thanks

    You can use use GetSaveAsFilename to get the saveAs filename then test the result before saving

    This will not give you exactly what you want
    Testing for mmdd would take more coding
