excel file name

Is it possible to assign a defined name to the .xls file exported from an object (for example giving the name of the object)?

Hi,

The default name is ObjectID_Date_Timestamp.xls

Thus, if you set objectID with a more meaningful name, it will be on your filename

If you need to fully control the name, you will need to include a macro in a button.

You can use some examples and codes from this thread.

Hope this helps,
