the date stuff works OK, the folder gets made.
it's just the copy which does not work!

there ar actually 2 files we get from the bank each day. I just copied one of them to the UT message
they come in with the same NAME everyday.
so I have to copy them off and change the name to distinguish them.
Thanks
Peter
