Roelof, can you give us an example of just how you are able to accomplish that? I tried to do that using several of the examples I found in the archives but all I was ever able to do was get a filename which was the exact string of characters used in the macro which should have equated out to a date or date/time filename. I found an old email on this subject, written by me coincidentally, which seems to indicate that the macro: autobackup-%DATE(yyyy-mm-dd)-%TIME(hh-mm-ss).tbk would produce a backup filename consisting of the date and time. Alas, all it did (I just tried it) was produce a backup with the filename "autobackup-%DATE(yyyy-mm-dd)-%TIME(hh-mm-ss).tbk". It looks like the %DATE and %TIME aren't being recognized by TB!, at least not for an automatically generated filename. I even tried to simplify it by using "autobackup-%DATE-%TIME.tbk" and I ended up with a backup file called: autobackup-%DATE-%TIME.tbk. -- Jack LaRosa Currently using The Bat! ver: 4.0.38 for now.
