I already have a piece of code that will save and email my active worksheet. but what i would like to know is if i've got a date in, for example, cell T29 of the active worksheet being sent, how would I add that date to my export filename instead of the format(now, ddmmyyy) line?

Answer 1

To get the date from T29, then something like this is needed:
Format(Range("T29"),"DDMMYYY")
If you want to get the date from T29 of a specific worksheet, then you should specify the worksheet as well - Format(WorkSheets("SomeName").Range("T29"),"DDMMYYY"). If you do not specify the worksheet, it takes the one which is selected.
