Naming a report.

[Homegrownandy]

I've seen a few guides on naming reports and all it suggests is to put the name in the header.

My reports are named after the report object itself. Not after the header.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I want to include the date in the report name when its exported. Is there some option I must enable to name after the header?

Cheers,

Reports can be named anything you want.
to export w date , select report from a list box...lstRpts

vFile = "c:\folder\" & lstRpts & "-" & format(date(),"yyyymmdd-hhnn" & ".pdf"
Docmd.outputTo acOutputReport lstRpts, acFormatPDF, vFile

I'm using a macro on the button click event.

the "object name" is the report name. It has to be this to select the report. I did try changing this but it didn't work. Maybe with some & " symbols it will? haha. Or should I scrap that and do some VBA?
