Hi, I know this has been asked many times but I can't seem to find the right answer for me. I have an output file "SOD" and I want to have it automatically generate "SOD 06/29/23" for example or whatever today's date is. 

 

any help is appreciated.

Hi @MickeyL 

 

I would advise against having forward slashes in your filename.

When selecting a location to the output what do you choose? Do you change the name of the file to save it?
