[RESOLVED] File saving

Hi, hope you can help.

I would like to know if it is possible to make my application be able to save the file as the current date. the idea is to have it where the staff login to the application and the application opens the file with the current day.

This means that in the morning before staff open the program the office staff can put up the information, i.e. like briefing sheet, daily notes. etc

Hope you can help
Sorry for the bad explanation

I assume you mean saving a file with a name that represents the current date. You can save a file with any name you like, as long as it follows Windows rules regarding length and legal characters. You can use the String.Format or Date.ToString method to create a string containing the current date. I'd suggest using the yyyyMMdd format as it means that alphabetical order and chronological order will be synchronised, e.g.

vb.net Code:

Dim fileName As String = String.Format("{0:yyyyMMdd}.txt", Date.Now)

Hey, Thanks for that.
