Right. But if this is a Windows NT machine, you can't have a / in a filename since that character is a reseved character for navigating directories and the NTFS file structure. So, if this is a windows NT machine, you can't say [date].tmpl since it can't create a filename with a / in it. What you CAN do is say something like [date %m%d%Y].tmpl. That'll have the date information that you need, minus those pesky /'s.
