excel file name with Time stamp, also from a template?

[labnoob]

Hi i created this little vi that opens an excel template, then populates it with pressure and temperature values. that part worked fine.

My issue is i'd now like to rename that template file so i can append the current date and time. ive started off trying to do this, but got a bit stuck! any ideas?

ideally i want labview to pick the template residing at A, rename it, then save it in location B.

How is this achieved?

Many thanks

i guess there are some native vis in the report generation toolkit (for excel), did you had a look in to them?

If not may be you can, copy/move file found in the file i/o pallette
