Export database name with Date Stamp added to the name

After exporting a file with the Export Setup window, use this command to rename that exported file. Pull down the Edit menu to Command (or add an Edit > Command event to your script) and run this command:

`copy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile.csv" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile-"+ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE())))+PADL(ALLT(STR(MONTH(DATE()))),2,"0")+".csv"`

copy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile.csv" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile-"+ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE())))+PADL(ALLT(STR(MONTH(DATE()))),2,"0")+".csv"

In the command, change the path to the full path of the file and location that you're changing. This command assumes you're exporting a csv file.

You are a genius and I have no excuse for not thinking of this before calling. Our customer is good with cutting the tops and bottoms for the booklets to get under 16 ounces. Thank you for getting me out of a jam and thank you even more for offering your help with this project! I decided to switch to AccuZIP after speaking with Steve at the Minuteman Show. I was impressed with his idea of customer service and you have totally proven him right.
