Hi Mimi,
I use automation scripts in a similar way to you. We have several queries that run every day and get saved as excels to a a public share. You can add the date as a suffix to the file that is saved, but we had a problem with the time format.
With the help of Jeff, I was able to use a workaround which included assigning the current time / date to a variable at the beggining of the automation script.
It took me an hour to fiddle with it to figure out how to get it going, but it is was time very well spent becuase I learned how to define variables for selects or updates that I run quite often.
I'll try to find the post and put a link here.
Sincerely,
Shimon
