Hello semaj,

If you could be more specific which tutorial you completed, or upload a sample file (with no personal information) so we can see your macro code would be helpful.

Where do you want the date to be added? The file name? The subject line? The email body? Where the date will be added will determine what coding is needed.

Cheers   :-)

@semaj
Thanks for updating your post and letting us know how you solved your issue. Your solution is what I had in mind if you wanted the date in the file name - which you did.

Cheers   :-)

@Semaj - for future, please note that you'll get a faster response if you reply to questions like Willie's (dated 20 Aug, under the Discussion to your Question). 

I think the other "Answer" was someone wanting to ask a similar question (but i got no response to my Discussion point also 20 Aug)

Delays happen so no problem. Note that if you get a working Answer, some feedback is nice but you really should mark it as Selected- you forgot to do that on my Answer about saving a file to a user's OneDrive.
