That's the stuff. I actually got around the problem by saving as a specific filename in a specific location (i.e. "CurrentData"), then once the other macros have executed, the user is required to save to a specific filename and location based on the date, but I like this better!

Here is my code so far…

Windows(“Graph2.txt”).Activate
Sheets(“Graph2?).Select
Sheets(“Graph2?).Move After:=Workbooks(“Graph1.txt”).Sheets(1)
Windows(“Graph3.txt”).Activate
Sheets(“Graph3?).Select
Sheets(“Graph3?).Move After:=Workbooks(“Graph1.txt”).Sheets(2)
Windows(“Graph4.txt”).Activate
Sheets(“Graph4?).Select
Sheets(“Graph4?).Move After:=Workbooks(“Graph1.txt”).Sheets(3)

What this does is takes 4 individual data (.txt) files (that are already opened with another macro and have dedicated file names of Graph1.txt, Graph2.txt, Graph3.txt, and Graph4.txt) and combines them into one workbook called Graph1.txt, so there are 4 different sheets in one file instead of 4 individual files. When I insert the code…

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs “S:Organized Data” & Format(Now, “yyyymmdd”) & “.xls”

It saves the file correctly, but also changes the sheet name (I assume the currently active sheet [or as I call them..."tabs"]) of “Graph1? to match the filename (specifically, the first “tab” or sheet is changed from “Graph1? to 20111003, for example).

To the people who said that it didn’t work and they got the following error:

Compile error: Expected: line number or label or statement or end of statement

I had that and when I had copied and pasted it had weird quotation marks that looked like they were in italics. I simply deleted those and replaced them with normal quotation marks and it worked perfectly.
